Passenger Door Mirror - Dipping

[ttr]

Eh up all.

I’m not electrical minded as some of you know

I’m hoping this is a simple fix, when I engage reverse one of the following happens:-

The passenger door mirror dips but jerks on its way down as if it’s sticking
When it goes down it then sometimes does not go back up when I go into drive
Sometimes it does not dip at all

Anyone any ideas

Is it a simple poor connection somewhere,
Motor in the motor

no idea where to start looking on this one

Cheers in advance for any help

Mirror position sensors apparently, mine is the same works sometimes, I had such a job replacing the glass I decided to not go any further with pulling it apart but there’s a thread here

Cheers for that, having looked at the thread I don’t fancy stripping all theses fiddly parts out no doubt brittle with age.

I will live with the adhoc mirror operation

Thanks again
