Default Side Mirror Cann't Be Adjusted. Help!

2004 RX330
So far I found my passenger side mirror is hardly adjusted. It become sticky or weakly. Today It is finally dead. I still can hear the motor sound when I push button, but it just never move at all. Please help!

White Lithium would work best.
