Power side-mirror problem

The power side mirror on the passenger side of my 2000 Olds Silh. seems to constantly slowly turn out. I can readjust with the little joystick but it will eventually be turned out again. It doesn't seem to matter if I leave the switch set to either mirror or to the off position. It is only the passenger side that does it. Does this sound like a problem at the switch (joystick type of switch on driver side door) or the mirror.

Any help would be appreciated, it is very annoying.


Thanks

Hi Scott,

This is just a "guess", but I would think that it is probably something wrong in the switch (causing "stray" current to get to the mirror).

I would test this theory by disconnecting the joystick connector for a day or two, once you have the mirrors where you want them. Then plug it back in and see what happens.

There is a picture of the bottom of the switch here (http://www.my-chevy-venture.com/driver-side-window-switches.html).

Take Care,

I have exactly the same problem on my 2000 Sil., strangely it does not drift out while driving, even on long trips - Did you try to disconnect switch? Did you solve the Problem? I was going to dismantel the mirror once it gets warmer.
