The issue started where my right blind spot warning indicator stopped working properly. To troubleshoot, I took it to the dealer and they ran diagnostics.
They found that the issue was that the LED burnt out, and offered to put in a new one (at a cost of course). I decided to skip and bought two new mirrors with the proper mirrors to reduce blind spot as a whole.

I installed the right side, and sure enough on start-up the light came on again, same with the drivers side. As you know when you pop out the mirror, you need to get your fingers under it so I went to adjust them.
At first I didn't notice it, but
When I have it set to adjust the right mirror, I can adjust it just fine...
When I have to adjust the left mirror, it adjusts BOTH the left and right mirror.
At first I didn't realize it, until I tried tweaking one of the mirrors while driving, since it seemed a bit off after the install. Then I seemed to get into a loop of 'oh weird now that one is off'...it wasn't until I got home that I realized what was happening.
Could I have screwed up some wiring or something? I am like 99% sure the wires going to the mirror itself are not related to the motor but rather the one with the insulated plug = blind spot monitor, and the other two wires are for the heated mirror. If anything, could it have been the dealership that screwed something up?
