I noticed my powered mirrors (both sides) move left, right, and down, but neither will move upward. Anybody know of a way to get them functioning correctly?
I tried crc contact cleaner on the switches,... Didn't matter. no change.

(without replacing the mirror motors, of course)...
Thanks.

No Dice. I tried pushing harder, didn't make any difference. Still no upward mirror movement.
Is it possible the motor that moves the mirror could need cleaned or lubed?
Or maybe both mirror switches are bad?

I am having the same issue, if you push on the top part of the mirror while pushing the button to make it go up mine will move, give it a try and let me know what happens. A bit of a pain but better than it stuck down all the time.
