2001 Power Mirror Help...Please
Power mirrors (both) on a 2001 F-150 would work in 3 directions just not down (again same for both mirrors). Figured had to be the switch so I took it off and cleaned it up. Replaced and still no down and in the process of tinkering with it, both mirrors stopped working all together. I figured I messed up the switch and bought a new one from the dealer. Plugged in the new switch and still no movement on either mirror. I have a wiring diagram and tested for power; not getting any. Replaced the relay #4 and still no power. I don't get it.

Update:
O.K. I am pretty annoyed at this so I have been working at it (despite it being 19 degrees outside..no garage)
I tested the relay to sure they are functioning......checked out o.k.
I then using a voltmeter found the power for the power windows. Using jumper wires I stole the power window 12V power and put it into the mirror. Long story short I got both mirrors to work. This tells me there is no power coming into the mirrors via the wire that is supposed to provide power. Also I know all other circuitry is O.K. since mirrors worked fine.
I need to find the other end of the wire to test continuity, or I can just splice in to the power window wire to get the power...which is kind of 1/2 a$$ed. Any thoughts??

Turns out I am an idiot. I was checking a relay when I should have been looking at a fuse. Found the fuse, now have power and everything works o.k.
I do have a brand new switch now that I am willing to sell $18 to your door. Let me know if you are interested.

Question
I know this is kindof an old post, but do you still have that wiring diagram? I have an 01 Supercab and need to see the diagram
Thanks

Thank you very much. However this is not the one I am looking for. I think that is my fault, I did not provide enough information. I have an 01 Supercab 4.6l with power only. No heat, no turn signal. There are 4 wires coming out of the Right hand mirror. 2 yellow, purple and a green. Im trying to determine if I can modify another mirror to work on my truck. It looks like the yellows are grounds and the purple and green drive the direction. Thanks for your help.

This it? I couldnt find one for a 2001 so I searched 2002 and found this one that says "prior to" That date, so maybe it's the same as the 2001. I see purple (violet) and yellow wires on there so maybe it will be useful somehow. Good luck

maybe this will help me determine whether or not the mirrors are still working. At least I’ll feel like I’m making progress🤣
