    Outside mirror slow movement

    Both left and right outside mirrors move slowly and jerk when I change their position with the switch button on the panel.
    If I use the memory function, they move quickly without jerking.
    Could be a problem of mirror switch? could be the inner circuit oxidized or dirty?

    Thanks

    Since the same 'joystick' controls both mirrors, it's likely its contacts are dirty or worn... Time for a new switch!
