Problem with Power Side Mirrors
I hate to cross post but I fear the original board of "Body and Interior" may not be he right place to ask (and I know Trix reads this board).
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!

I guess the first step would be to replace the direction mirror direction control on the console? Does GM still stock that switch for replacement?
