I have a 94 Explorer headlights will not go out even when ignition is off and key out.

Headlamp Delay System - Autolamp, Aerostar and Explorer
The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on-off control of the exterior lamps normally controlled by the headlamp switch . The autolamp system keeps the lamps on for a preselected period of time after the ignition switch (11572) is turned off. The preselected time lapse can be adjusted by the operator up to three minutes.
On Aerostar, the system consists of a light sensor amplifier (13A018) , automatic headlamp dimmer relay (13A025) , and a time-delay headlamp dimmer sensor control (13C105) which includes an ON/OFF switch.
The Explorer consists of an ON/OFF switch, a light sensor and a time delay control which are part of the inside rear view mirror (17700) and two automatic headlamp dimmer relays .
Connections to the vehicle lamps parallel the connections to headlamp switch requiring the headlamp switch to be turned to the OFF position for the automatic control feature.
In normal operation, the system will turn the exterior lamps on when the natural outside light available to the light sensor amplifier decreases below a predetermined level, such as at sunset. Also, the lamps will automatically turn off when the level of outside light exceeds a predetermined level during daylight hours.
On Aerostar, the light sensor amplifier is mounted under a group of slots in the upper instrument panel in front of the driver. The light sensor amplifier must always be exposed to outside light to function properly. Do not place any items over the group of slots in the upper instrument panel which may block light to the light sensor amplifier.
On Explorer, the light sensor amplifier is on the back side of the interior rear view mirror. Do not place any items on the mirror that will block the sensor.
The headlamp dimmer sensor control thumbwheel is located next to the headlamp switch for Aerostar and on the interior rear view mirror for Explorer. The autolamp system is functional for automatic operation when the on-off control is moved from the OFF position. The closer the control is moved toward the max-delay, the longer the lamps will stay on after the ignition switch is turned off.
Pulling out the headlamp switch will override the autolamp. Automatic operation will not be possible until the headlamp switch is turned off.
Can you operate the headlamps manually, do they work ok? I don't like auto-lamps. Just my opinion.
I thought the above info might help?

Set 1 2 switches? please clarify

See pg. 3-31 in owners manual. Start car in park. Adjust seat, telescoping wheel, and side view mirrors. Pust Mem button and then within 5 sec. push either 1 or 2. That button should light to show memory stored.
From the 2012 Guide (See link)
l"AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER (if so equipped) Two positions for the driver's seat, steering column and outside mirrors can be stored in the automatic drive positioner memory. Follow these procedures to set the memory positions: • Confirm the shift lever is in the P (PARK) position. • Push the ignition switch to the ON position. • Adjust the driver's seat, steering column and outside mirrors to the desired positions using the adjusting switches for each feature. • Push the SET switch and within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) for at least 1 second. • The indicator light on the memory switch you select will illuminate for approximately 5 seconds. • The driver's seat, steering column and outside mirror positions are now set to your preference. These memorized positions can also be linked to your NISSAN Intelligent Key®. For more information, refer to the "Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)" of your Owner's Manual." https://owners.nissanusa.com/content/techpub/ManualsAndGuides/Murano/2012/2012-Murano-quick-reference-guide.pdf
For added info see whole owners manual.

Pretty sure the mirror switch is the culprit(I'm assuming the joystick and selector switch are all one piece).

Driver's side rear view mirror - how to fix adjustment mechanism?

I would first take the mirror apart to make sure the cable is still attached. Then if it is I would soak the cable with penetrating oil and put it back together and hope for the best.

I have a 2010 Buick La Crosse CXL and when trying to set the memory for the seats and outside mirrors I can only get the seats to retain the memory. When I place the car in drive the mirrors go down out...

this might be what you're experiencing.......
Park Tilt Mirrors
If the vehicle has the memory
package, the outside mirrors
have a park tilt feature. This feature
automatically tilts the outside
mirrors to a preselected position
when the vehicle is in R (Reverse).
This allows the driver to view the
curb for parallel parking.
The passenger and driver mirrors
return to their original position
when the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), or the ignition is turned
off or to OFF/LOCK.
This feature can be turned on or
off through the Driver Information
Center (DIC)

The audio system controls are used
to access the personalization
menus for customizing vehicle
features. (DIC)
CONFIG (Configuration):
Press
to access the Configuration
Settings Menu.
MENU / SELECT Knob:
Press the
center of this knob to enter the
menus and select menu items.
Turn the knob to scroll through the
menus.
0
BACK:
Press to exit or move
backwards in a menu.

Sure hope this helps!
Best to you.

Rear view mirror does not change to night view

I have allot of experience with these mirrors, if your just stopped working it lasted longer than most, many never even made it out of factory warranty, the problem is the mirror not any fuse, the cost of the new unit is around $200.

Side Mirrors will adjust side to side but not up and down.

There are two tiny motors in each mirror. one for up/down. One for side to side. They have jack screws (plastic) that fit into the motors.

You can manually put your hands on either side of the mirror and force adjust it. If you hear a ratcheting sound, the jack screws are OK. Then repeat with hands on top and bottom.

If you hear ratcheting and mirror stays where you stop it, that means one of the motors is bad. The motor assembly is available as a separate part.
