Default side view mirror moves when unlocking door

I have a 97 zj and I notice I have a intermittent bad passenger side front door lock actuator. Every time I only unlock my door with my key fob my passenger side mirror moves. Does anybody know why?

Hey Kevin. I sold my ZJ that I had for 6 years and it had the memory system on the mirrors, seats, & radio presets. They were set to match the remote key entry fobs # 1 & # 2, depending upon which person was driving at the time. You set everything with a numbered button on the drivers door. When you opened the doors with one of the remotes it would change the mirror settings to match the key fob #1 or #2. If you happened to grab the wrong keys you just pressed your correct button on the door and the system would go over to your settings.
Sounds like you have the memory system to me.

Wow, that makes a lot of sense.. I'm try it tomorrow and let you know if that fixes the problem.
