My passenger side power mirror on my Av won't fold anymore. I can hear a clicking and the drivers side mirror works just fine. Is this something that I can fix easily or do I need to take it to a dealer (god forbid) or can a local ma and pa place fix it?
Thanks!

Reset the mirror by folding it against the truck, then use the switch to fold then unfold them. It may take a couple of times, but you’ll hear it pop when it clicks in.
If that doesn’t work, your gear on the motor may be stripped.
 
The plastic gear inside the folding mirror is a common break point. If Navigatin's trick works several times and then it stops again, a few teeth on the inner gear is likely broken off.

Here is a video on the replacement in case you have to go that route.
