Passengers side mirror not tilting while reversing
I have an 06 E90 330i and have noticed that my passengers side mirror stopped tilting down when i put the car in reverse. I also notice that the revers light don't come on. Now it does work sometimes but 8/10 it doesn't. Does anyone know where and if there is a switch that controls this?
Thanks Last edited by Cyclops; 09-12-2011 at 12:53 PM.. |

The button that lets you select which mirror to adjust. If it's set to the right mirror position, it won't tilt when reversing. If it's set to the left, it'll tilt. Can't give you an answer about the reverse lights though.

Also, if you happen to put the button in between the 2 positions (so as to not accidentally adjust your mirrors), it won't tilt either. The reverse lights not coming on could be as simple as a fuse or a bad reverse switch on the shifter/trans, but you'd have to refer to a tech manual to know where it's located.

The answer for this problem was replacing the actuator motor which controls the mirror. |
