Power Mirrors Problem

What is the best way to diagnose the problem I am having where neither of the mirrors is responsive to the switch on the console to move them?

Sure, the car is old but is it likely that both sets of mirror motors are shot or is it likely that the switch is shot?

If the mirror motors are shot, how hard is replacement?

So many questions about one thing but this is really the only electrical thing wrong with my car. So close to mint!

Here, maybe this will help!! It beats writing everything out. Replacement of the switch is very easy and takes about 5 minutes at the most and that includes taking time to scratch your........uh..head.

Does GM still carry the console switch in replacement?

Thanks Bob!

As of about a month ago they did, if you have the part number off the old one you can go to one of these sites and maybe find it.
