Default Unlocking car move drive mirror all the way out

This cars electrical issue will be the death of me. When I press the unlock button on the key fob the drivers side (left) mirror will turn itself all the way out until it stops. This just started today. What the hell is going on here?

Have you recently set your seat position in the Memory? Your key fobs are matched to one of the memory buttons on the door. If the memory has been saved with the mirror out of position, then each time you unlock with that fob and insert the key, the memory will put the mirror out there again.

Try setting your seat, steering, and mirrors where you want them and then save that setting into memory. Also, save it to your fob. You can do this by hitting a fob button within two seconds of pressing the button on the door. The car will "Ding" when you press the door button, and also when you press the fob button to verify it has been saved to each.

If this does not fix it, then maybe try a Hard Reset if you have not already.
