Good morning!
So yesterday I was out doing essential shopping. .. Harbor freight, farm &fleet...
When I unlocked via remote my drivers side mirror moved all the way to the right and started clicking.
Like it was stripping the gears sound.
Getting back in the truck the mirror moved fully every direction with switch on door. But the next time same thing, moved to the right and counted 3 clicks ! Happened 3 times yesterday.
I have a 68,000 miles on my 2009 s-crew lariat with most of the toys. Including memory seats.
Some research pointed to drivers seat control module OR an orange with green stripe wire that may be broken at a splice off of the fuse box at location 3.
However the wire thing I found was on a previous generation f150 and expedition, so I don't know if it applies.
I also noticed that when I went to program the mirror back to my setting by holding down the memory 1 button, it only beeped once.
If memory serves me correct I thought when you hold desired memory button down for @5-10 seconds it should beep twice to set everything to that remote.

So that's as far as I went. I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone had the same issue.
Thanks in advance
John

 

I have had the same problem. Fix was to re-adjust the mirror to tilt away from the truck just a tad. I was hitting the side of the housing or truck if I recall when they folded.

 

Eric, thanks for the reply. However I have trailer tow mirrors. They are not power folding. I'm talking about the actual adjustment of the mirror. I am leaning towards the driver seat control module, it's plausible that that could cause this but there are no other symptoms other than the mirror moving sporadically. I really don't want to spend $100 plus on the new module and that not be the cause
