If you have the user manual handy, there are instructions for re-setting the mirror dip (something along the lines of key in position one, gearstick in reverse, adjust mirror the press memory button... or some such thing).
Could just be the memory playing up, so would give that a try before tearing anything apart looking for sensors. If you don't have the owners manual handy, a search on here should turn up the correct instructions, I'm sure there was a thread along these lines not that long ago.
Edit: The instructions in the user manual might just be to enable or disable the dip-when-reversing function altogether, I should be able to check later this evening if nobody has posted a clarification before I have a chance to fetch the manual.
