For some strange reason, the automatic tilt-down of passenger's side-view mirror just stopped working.

I put the gear in reverse and the passenger's side-view mirror didn't move at all.

I also noticed the interior light on the windows button didn't light up, I'll double check that this morn, but I think someting went wrong.

Might be a fuse, might be something more serious.

Just had the front windshield replaced, don't know if they had to remove the driver's side door or not, but something went wrong when I got the car back.

Should I just go to an electrical shop or mechanicial?

Is the selector switch moved to the right mirror position?

Yeah, you gotta have the switch set to adjust the driver's side mirror in order for the passenger's side mirror tilt downward while in reverse.

You mean the left (driver's) position, correct?
