Default Passenger side mirror not going into reverse position

I have a 13’ GS and the driver side mirror is working great all ways, however my passenger mirrors motor may be going out? It does move all four ways still but extremely slowly and in reverse it doesn’t move at all anymore except maybe a quarter inch or so. Is the motor going out?

Sometimes that reverse mode got screwed up and needs to be reprogrammed.

To reprogram it, if I remember correctly..

Put it in R and adjust both mirrors position manually while in reverse mode and shift back to P and see if it goes back to normal position and save it to ur seat memory. Try putting it R again and see if the mirrors move to the newly set reverse position.

Note: The reverse mode only activates when either of the Right of Left mirror button is turned on.

My driver side is kind of having this problem as well...It moves up and down just fine, but left to right doesn't move at all..Even using the L and R arrows on the armrest the mirror doesn't move.
