Mirror not dropping in reverse

Odd thing: I noticed a day or two ago that the right hand mirror is no longer tilting downward when I reverse. Any idea where to start with this?

Make sure the selector switch is set to the drivers side, if not it won’t tilt.

The only other thing that can cause this besides a failed actuator in the mirror housing is the reverse switch in the transmission, if that fails the backup lights won’t work either so it’s easy to diagnose.
