please give me some ideas; i've checked the wiring and everything is connected as well as the insulation on the wires is in tact.

 

Mine did the same thing till I noticed if the switch was out of the console the mirrors worked perfectly. It is only when mounted that it happened. I took a dremel to the mounting hole around the mirror switch to loosen it up and now it works. Pull the switch out and try it. Check the wires for continuity from the connector on the mirror to the switch one might be broken. Put 12volts to each of the wires in the connector on the mirror and see if it moves like it should. My guess is its a bad switch.

 

What about the little cross thing that holds the mirror, one of the pieces on that cross broke on mine and it would move only move up and down.

 

mine did the same thing. try and push it on a digonal on the way u want it to go. play with it for a couple of mintues it might work. cause mine did.

I had the same problem. In my case, the contacts were pretty nasty looking. I cleaned them up and it worked fine. When I finally put the swith back together I broke it reinstalling it (what a doofus!). Check the contacts.
