1989 Trans Am GTA - Trouble shooting power mirror

Hi, just bought a an 89 GTA, and the passenger side mirror only moves up and down. Looking for some trouble shooting advise. And can you buy a replacement motor if required?

thanks

A.J.

Re: 1989 Trans Am GTA - Trouble shooting power mirror

When mine does that i just keep toggling the switch. It/they will eventually start working. My guess is the little motors seize due to infrequent use. Is only the passenger mirror moving side/side? You could probably find a replacement motor, but you'd have to open the housing to find the size.
