Passenger Side View Mirror stopped working

Hello all,
2013 Es350. Passenger door side view mirror just stopped working ie, is not adjustable. Driver's side works just fine. Any thoughts? Possible fuse issue, I hope?

Thank you.

Hi Bruce. I have the same car and mine stopped working too. All I can offer is sympathy, as I never found a simple solution or had it repaired. Given that I am the only person who drives the car, I just manually put into position and never have need for it to be changed. I'll be interested to hear what you do. Thanks.

Thanks, if I am able to move it, I likely will do the same.

I will keep you posted.

It's usually the brushes/contacts on the motors getting gunked up over time. Here's some good info:

Funny. I manually adjusted it, heard it click and boom, the adjustment started working, again! Cool.

Bruce, that happened to me too. I move it and it worked intermittently for a while and then finally stopped altogether.
Interesting repair thread! Very well presented and explained. Not that I will do it, but good to know it's out there.
