How To Troubleshoot Power Mirror Switch

This is just a quick guide on how to test your power mirrors for function before you replace a switch. The switch will have 7 wires going to it. Green/yellow = HOT 2 Black = ground 2 yellow = polarity ( important) Then 4 other wires, blue, dark green, purple , red. These are the...

Well no power to the switch pigtail but power coming out of the fuse box so i must have a bad wire somewhere. Mirrors haven't work the whole time I've had the car (about 9 years..lol) but got everything else working including the cruise control...so why not the mirrors..lol

I just fixed my power mirror issue. Power out of the fuse box but not to the switch. Started tracing it back, after taking apart the console, pulling the drivers seat and under seat base (*custom stereo installed by prior owner) sill cover and kick plate to find the green/yellow (power to the switch) very nicely cut back and taped out of the way. Put that back together and all is good. (who in their right mind does that stuff? I can't think of a reason to cut power but...) Anyway on to power door locks not working but that's a different thread. Got some good information to fix the mirrors from post here think I have more good info for the locks. Thanks for the help everyone.
