My passenger side power fold mirror stopped working today. It wiggles a bit like it's trying to move, sometimes it will move a bit then stops so I folded and unfolded it a few times to see if something was hanging it up, nothing. Took the door panel off to have a look, unplugged the harness, plugged it back in, same result. Now the mirror tries to unfold and stops but when I go to move it by hand it's kind of loose until it gets to the all unfolded position, then it's solid again. I googled around and couldn't really find any definitive remedy. Has anybody else experienced this and what was the solution?
It's still under warranty so I guess I've got to go through the inconvenience of taking it in this week.

Have you made it in to the dealership yet, sparky kilowatt? How many miles are on your truck? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.

push it in yourself and see if you can hit the button to push it out. disconnect the negative on the battery for about 10mins to reset. if nothing, a trip to the dealer would be the next option.

Thanks for the offer of support Crystal. My truck has 12906 miles on it and as luck would have it, the mirror started working normally again the day after I posted this. My past experience with any dealer or repair shop is that if it's not doing it when you bring it in, they can't diagnose it, so I guess I'm going to have to wait and see what it does next. I'm leaving on a trip to the Sierras in a week so I'm hoping it was just a glitch and it's resolved.
Yanki01, Yep, I had done exactly what you suggested on Sunday when it stopped working, pushed it in and out manually, but I didn't disconnect the battery, still didn't work.

Well, it just happened again, my passenger side mirror stopped working. Pisses me off, almost out of warranty. I didn't take it in 11 months ago when I started this thread because it started working again so I called it good.
