The passenger mirror system is designed to point down when reversing- if the mirror adjust switch is to the driver side. If you don't wish to have it do this, keep the adjust selector switch pointed to the passenger side. If that switch is malfunctioning it could also explain why you cannot adjust the driver's mirror.

Mirror Tilt in Reverse Controls
This feature is capable of tilting the passenger side power mirror when the transmission is placed in reverse to provide enhanced visibility during parking or backing maneuvers. This feature is turned OFF or ON through the DIC. The passenger mirror on domestic vehicles can not be changed from the factory setting, but on export vehicles, the passenger mirror position may by changed using the same procedure as the driver mirror. For further information, refer to Driver Personalization in Personalization.

I had the sam eissue with my '93 DeVille. Replacing the battery worked like a charm.

MY LEFT SIDE VIEW MIRROR IS "CLOUDY", CAN JUST THE MIRROR ITSELF BE REPLACED?

Replace mirror assembly

Either the linkage needs adjustment, or the reverse gear is gone.

To tell if it is the linkage, look at the letters and see if the shift arrow matches up P,R,N,D,2,1

If the arrow is off and doesn't point at right letter, you should adjust the cable that goes from shifter to tranny. Follow the cable and there will be an aduster on it. Turn to right to tighten and left to loosen.

Hi geofitzpat,
I need a little more info.
Do the switches on the passenger side work?
Are the windows and door locks both inoperative ? How about a electric mirror control?
Did the switch get wet ( as in rained on ) ?
Is everything else OK?, starts good, headlights are bright? Let me know.
Regards, P.
