Paddle mirrors wont move up and down

My mirrors did that and I replaced them with towing mirrors and still didn't work. I replaced the toggle switch thingy and they work perfect. I think it's only like $25 or so for the switch and is super easy to do. I would start there. You might be able to clean the contacts in your switch but idk if that'll work.

If you hear the clicking, I don't think it's the toggle switch thingy.

But if both mirrors are doing the same thing? coincidence? Either that or they are both all the way up or down and need to be manually re-centered.

The switch only gives it power clicky= power... No clicky = no power.

Ok now it makes sence to me... Previous owner's kids played around with the mirrors until they wore out the damn plastic gear inside the mirror housing.

It's not an electrical issue.
