Passenger side mirror memory

Tianwei · Aug 20, 2012

Hi folks, new to these forums, tried the search function but couldn't find a similar issues (maybe I'm just bad at searches). So, I got my car (2006 Porsche Cayman S) back from my mechanic today after they replaced the passenger side window regulator and the likes (long story short, went down when door opened, didn't go back up) and now my passenger mirror's memory has ceased to function.

Basically, I can adjust the mirror manually via the switch on the driver's side, but when I hit one of the memory keys (1, 2 or 3) it won't go to it's appropriate position for that memory. I have also lost my tilt down on reverse function. I'm wondering if I'm perhaps just an idiot and missed something in the owner's manual, or if there's a reset function. I'm also wondering if my mechanic perhaps knocked something ajar during his other repair. I'm due back in tomorrow, but if anyone knows something that could save me a trip, I'd highly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Tianwei, excited new Porsche owner

PS: I'll post an introduction and pictures soon, love the car and everything about her, just a small bump in the road to start hehe

put the mirror to the correct position, then hold the memory button as you press #1, 2 or 3. Then move the mirror to a different position and stop and then push the memory button you stored (1,2 or 3) and see if the mirror moves back to where you stored it. If not, take it back for a fix!

Are you using the same ignition key? I don't have the manual in front of me but in my 08, seat & mirror memory positions are paired with your key. I occasionally grab my wife's key and by the time I open the door, the seat is so far forward I can't even get in!

So, I tried what you good folks said, and nothing still. Had her to my indy the other day, and even they are not 100% sure what happened as nothing is disconnected or out of the ordinary (not according to the onboard computer or what have you). Needless to say, they are looking further into the matter and are not charging me a dime as of this moment until they figure out if it's something they did when repairing the window regulator or if it's something new altogether.

Either way, it's such a minor thing that I am not really going to get unpleasant or sour over it as I can still drive and enjoy my beast. Thanks again for the tips folks, I appreciate it for sure.

PS: Apologies for the late response, had to make the 5 hour trip from Edmonton to Fort McMurray a couple days ago. I got home, and found out my telus modem had decided to die, so I was without internet for a couple of days.
