03 Power Mirror Problem

Hello everyone how's it going? I tried searching for this issue but couldn't find anyone with the exact problem. The deal is, sometimes when my mirrors are returning back to the memory position from when I reverse they tend to keep going up until hitting their limit and then the motor just runs. Once that happens I can use the mem buttons to return them back to where they should be. I have to either do it manually or use the mirror control. Any ideas why this could be? I'm at the point to where I almost dont wanna use the reverse mirrors just so I don't have to deal with it. But let's face it, they make parallel parking 100 times easier. Also no matter how many times I save their position the drivers side mirror always seems to end up a little higher than originally set. Please help!!

there are many concerns with them, which is why they were dropped in 04 or 05(can't remember). i love the mirrors myself. i have 123k on my expy, and they still work fine.

They were dropped in '04. My '03 has them, the '04 does not. They are turned off now because they don't go back to their home position.

I have the same issue with my '03 Expy. The passenger side mirror is possessed. Turning off the "Dipped reversing" option improved things. I liked the feature when it worked, but it's about the only beef I've had with the vehicle so far. I'm at 167K KM (100K Miles).
