Depending if the motor is shot or not, what works for me is sometimes I gotta give it a bump in either the up down direction by hand. My up/down frequently loses function when I fold the mirrors, probably because when you fold them, it has a "pop" motion which transfers into the mirror motor. A quick bump in either direction always fixes it for me.
