I went to the car wash, folded my mirrors prior to leaving my 2003 LX
When they gave the car back to me mirrors were still folded but would not return to driving position.
I can push them back but they are loose, seems like wind would fold them back. When i push the button to fold, they fold up with no hesitation. When I push the button to unfold there is no motor sound and no motion.
Tried putting it in park then drive, muliple combinations of fold button pushed etc. The will not return to driving position.
Any ideas before I start taking things apart?

More than likely wires starting to break in door loom. Mine are hit and miss. One might fold in but not out or both sometimes fold in. If I open the the driver's door a bit they sometimes work sometimes don't. Same with rear windows.
Just haven't collected a roll of wire to dig in and repair.
