Did you just get the car recently? Did the mirrors or seat ever work?

First make sure the switch that selects the mirror left or right is set properly. If it is in the middle the mirrors won't adjust.

The memory seat is just a setting, If you have not read your owners manual you should do so.

There is nothing wrong with your BCM. Those posters are just guessing. The BCM does not control the mirrors at all.

Regardless he is the BCM information.

If I remember correctly it is behind the gauge cluster. This manual should help you find/fix your problem.

Look under BCS

The wiring for the Mirror is in section MIR page 7 of the FSM.

Thank you for the reply, but yes I recently got it in November, my seats work fine I can move them manually (back forth, up down, ect). The heated wheel works the heated seat works. My mirrors don’t flip down when I’m in reverse. My memory setting buttons don’t even light up but the mirror button lights up. The steering wheel doesn’t lift when I exit. Checked the fuse are good. I will look at the link provided. Thank you.

There are settings that control all those features. The information is contained in your owners manual. You should consider reading that first.
I doubt there is anything wrong with your car.

Has to be something wrong, everything else works except the side mirrors and the memory sets 1&2. Switching the the toggle switch form left to right for the mirror and still not able to move any of them. I know when it’s in the middle the flip down feature doesn’t work. But like I stated I had to adjust them manually. I’ve even factory reset it from the setting menu on the touch screen. Still nothing.

Wondering why I was confused. Section MIR is for cars without Auto Drive Position Control. So that was a simple circuit totally controlled with the mirror switches.

You probably want to look at section ADP that shows how the mirrors and seat are automatically controlled. The ADP control unit controls those functions not the BCM. Maybe a softwear/ setting issue, maybe somebody removed a connector on the ADP unit or the ADP control unit is faulty. Although I think the first two items are more likely. The electronics in these cars is generally pretty reliable.

Mirror wiring is on page ADP 150. I would find the ADP unit, I believe it is also behind the gauge cluster, and check the cables and connections.

The ADP unit is located behind the audio unit, check the cables and connections. Maybe someone messed with them.

Symptom diagnostics for the issues you are having a noted in ADP pages 164 and 165.

Top of the morning, ok thanks for the info going to read up on this before work lol. This is really appreciated. While this simple mirror fix is mind boggling. Is there a tutorial that for taking down the odometer?

You do realize there are settings that have to be made with your display unit in order to have the seat and steering wheel automatically adjust to the proper position? Correct? Except there is no setting that would prevent the mirrors from working in manual mode.

Did these features ever work since you had the car? Maybe someone accessed the ADP unit or the door and did not replace the cables properly?

Are you able to tilt or telescope your steering wheel manually? This is also controlled by the ADP unit.

It’s hard to say if previous owner bothered with it. But I can move the steering wheel back forward up and down, along with the seats. This weekend I’ll strip it down. Also I looked at the service manual on MIR but it only has 22 pages (didn’t see page 164/165) it showed me the same wiring as the BCM.

Don't use MIR that is for cars without ADP. Your car has ADP, look at that section of the factory manual. ADP Page 150 is the correct wiring.

Also why this has me stomped is the fact the the defogger works/ along with the auto dimming.

The AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER unit only controls the seats, steering wheel and external mirrors.
And it controls these features in both manual adjust and automatic mode.

Maybe you can try disconnecting the battery. Maybe a software glitch. Long shot but I like to try the easy stuff first before tearing the car apart. learned that one the hard way.

Yea I do agree with keeping it simple, the battery terminal was corroded so I had to change it, then the battery.
