I have a problem id like to fix, and the cold weather shouldn't be a problem, like a few other things...

BOTH power mirrors don't do anything when i try to use the switch to move either of them right (when sitting in the car), or up. I have replaced the switch with on from a JY. same deal.

Something worng in the harness? THe wires all seem fine when i replaced the switch....

Anyone have any ideas?

I would say try a third switch. Since each mirror has two motors (one for up/dn and one for l/r), it sounds more like the switch because you get the same behavior on each side.

Coming out of the switch, the wires to each motor are separate, so if it's a wiring issue you have more than one bad wire which is unlikely.

Woa! good thing i search for this, before posting again...

Anyways, I finally pulled the switch. looks fine inside. Cleaned it out anyway.

Anyone know what/ how to get new 'R' and L' decals?

Is there a wiring diagram, that will tell me what wires should close a circuit when any given button is pressed?

there isn't a fuse for just two directions on both mirrors, is there?

I've seen stranger things happen with questionable fuses. If it looks "funny" at all, I'd change it. Also, the mirrors "click" and move when you push on them, make sure they are not just pushed all the way to one side or whatnot. Clean your connections where the switch plugs into the harness. If all that fails, buy a new switch from 1-800-Mustang. The Fox-chassis mustang used the same switch.

Bryan, I sent you the circuit schematic and troubleshooting guide. If you didn't get them. please send me an email and I'll resend them.
