Power mirror problem
I have an '03 F150 FX4 super. My power mirrors aren't working right. They go down and in but don't want to go out or up very well. This is on both sides. Any one else ever had this or think of what might be the cause?

Take your switch out and spray it good anywhere you can get fluid to go inside with electrical contact cleaner or WD40, work the button back and forth and blow it out. That fixed mine ........ and it's a cheap try.

Yeah, good call. I'll try that today.
Thanks
* coatit - the plastic insert around the inside handle pops off (front first). There's a screw in there to remove then lift the panel up. Be careful of the wires. Have a little screw driver in your hand so you can undo the plug clips.

It was the switch. I could get it to work intermittantly but not continuously so I got a new one. Swapping that out was about a 1 minute job. How sweet is that!?
Thanks

WD40 it and blow it out again. If that fails buy new.

I have a similar problem, my mirrors will move up and down but wont't come in far enough using the switch. I have manually moved them around. I there a zero point or calibration?
