Breaks and Passenger Power Mirror Connected?
I just bought a used 2005 Honda with 55,000 miles from a dealership.
I've noticed the left mirror seemed to need adjusting every ten minutes or so of driving. Later I noticed a clicking sound when I would break - not from the breaks itself, but under the shifter/dash area towards the passenger side.
In the end, I have found that the button that moves the mirrors makes the same click and from the same location as the breaks. If the slider that you move to pick which mirror to move is on the L mirror, it does not move, but the breaks click everytime you compress and remove your foot.
If the slider is in the neutral or the R position there is no click, but the left mirror moves when you use the break. If you hold the break down it moves consistently, if you tap the breaks it moves only the length you hold the brake.
Any idea what this is and how this can be fixed?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
