mirrors don't work properly after using reverse

I've seen some posts that refer to afix for '03 Eddie Bauer mirrors that do not go back to their original position after using reverse. They also make a clicking sound (like they can't move in that direction anymore) when I use the remote on the key ring. I tried to search for a reference in the past posts but no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Shov

Welcome to the site!

That "feature" wasn't available after '03 (probably because of the problems) but I believe the fix is to have the dealer update the GEM programming. Maybe someone will chime in with the exact information you need.

I have an 04 EB and the mirrors work just fine. Lucky, I guess.
