Once you pull the switch and removed the connector, just clean it out really good and re-connect everything. Sometimes its tough to see if you are making a good connection or not.

I will try cleaning the terminals again. I pulled the switch out and cleaned the terminals and I still can't get them to work. I checked the fuse and it is fine. I'm still thinking that the problem must be in the switch as I can't hear the motor activating when I try to move the mirrors. Thanks again for the advice guys!

Try squirting WD40 in behind the mirror glass. If they free up use them for a while then relube. Check Continuity thru thew switch before you reinstall.
Good luck.

What TRITON said......I took mine apart last night and it was much easier to just pull up on the front of the whole panel that the switches are mounted to then flip it over and you will see the release clips for the mirror switch. I took my switch apart and cleaned it, although there really wasn't anything in there. Then when I re-assembled it, now it works in all directions, except for the up and down operate both mirrors at the same time. The side to side is fine though. I'm thinking of just replacing the switch.

Thanks for the help guys! I got mine out and tried to check it out for continuity but decided to replace the switch. New switch got the right mirror ok;up, down, left and right. The left mirror now moves left and right but no up and down!!?? Tried WD-40 behind it and moving it by hand to see if I could free it up.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Goud
