Driver side mirror won't go up/down, door can't be manually locked
 
2 issues here:

Driver side mirror will move left/right, but it won't move up/down at all. Passenger side works perfectly.

Inside driver side door, the handle lock can't be locked manually. I can switch it to the unlocked position, but I can't move it back to the locked position and it feels like it's hitting something in the way. Although it locks if I use the door lock button or the keys. It's just manually moving the lock itself that doesn't work. (Not a big issue at all obviously, just curious why it's doing this.)

Something might be wrong with the mirror motor/gear.. I don't advise this but try and move the mirror manually with your hand.. maybe it got stuck on a gear.. I moved mine around by accident and still works..

As for the door on the driver side it won't lock manually that's a safety so you won't lock keys inside.. but if you have the driver side door closed and go on the passengers side and lock it down manually it will close.. try it :thumbsup:

I'll have to lightly mess with the mirror just to see if that works.

I could've sworn I've previously manually locked the door, but it does make sense. Either way, not a big deal. Just being cautious. Thanks for that.

won't hurt the gears to manually move it a few times.. but something to keep in mind while washing if you're heavy handed, for sure!

@PBlack09 did you ever figure out how to fix this? Mine is doing the exact same thing -- side to side works, but up and down is dead.

Thanks!
