Wacky mirror issues

I just picked up a 2013 F350 last week. After checking out all switches, I found a bad switch. But what I thought was a bad mirror switch wasn't. Both mirrors do not go up or down. Drivers mirror, when you move the switch right it goes up and to the left. Only for a second then you have to release and hit it again. When you hit it left, it goes down and right. Again only for a second.

Passenger mirrors does the same thing. Move the switch right and it moves it left and down.

So I bought a new switch thinking that has to be it. Exactly the same issue. Any thoughts?

Results from a search show some people solved the same issue by cleaning the electrical connections reslly good, so I'd say give that a shot.

Well I tried a hold different switch. So I am not sure if that will help unless it is the connectors on the wire side.
