Side Mirror electrical problem
I am new to the forum. If this has previously been answered, please direct me to your archives. I have a 2001 F350 superduty Diesel. I live in Alaska and brought my truck up from Georgia last year. When we arrived, my automatic side mirrors worked fine. After about 3 months of winter (down to -35 degrees or so) my mirrors no longer work. I assumed it was due to freezing but that is not the case. I cannot find a fuse or anything blown to indicate a problem. Any suggestions on where to look for a solution. At this time, the door controls feel as though they are working fine, but there is no motor attempt. I am not even sure where to check to see if electical current is even flowing. Are there 'hidden' fuses or motors I should check? Are there standard fuses or motors I should check?
Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks Dave F.
I have checked the fuses and all are OK. By the way, my #13 is a 20 amp - not 10 amp. These is where my confusion comes in - it appears all fuses are just fine. I have no documentation on during surgery on the mirrors.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Dummy me, I think I was looking at the wrong year diagram. That should have been fuse #4, 10amp.
Anyway, the power feeding the switch is a lightgreen/yellow. See if you have power on that wire.
Coming out of the switch, when you tell the passenger side mirror to go up, you should have 12v on the violet wire.
When you tell the passenger side mirror to left, you should have power on the darkgreen wire.
When you tell the driver's side mirror to go up, you should have 12v on the darkblue.
When you tell the driver's side mirror to go left, you should have 12v on the red wire.
