Try the website listed below. Your looking at fuses 4, 18 and 22 in the fuse box under the hood. Check all three. The website includes a diagram of where each fuse is.
You have a short in the wiring of that fused circuit, or less likely that one of the mirror motors has a short. A short is an unintended path to ground, like an exposed wire touching body metal, or an internal motor failure. If that fuse is only for the mirrors and nothing else, it will be easier to find. A likely place will be in the door openings where the wires can get stretched and chafed. Pull the protective boot away from the wires where they enter the door, and check carefully. You may need to get to the mirror motors and to the switch for them. If everything looks okay, better get a multi-meter to check sections of the wires for continuity. A wiring diagram will be needed to find the right color wires that you will be looking for. I am guessing that each motor will have 4 wires to it, 2 for side to side, and 2 for up and down. These 4 wires will come from the switch on the driver's door that operates them. Power travels from the fuse to the switch, and then to the mirrors, as the switch operates them. The ground wire for the mirrors will originate at the switch, or it may be a shared common ground at the driver's master switch for the mirrors and the power windows. The short may be in any of these wires, or in the switch (evident at the connector to the switch as melted plastic, perhaps), or a short in one of the mirror motors. Good luck and good hunting.
did you check power mirror fuse? if ok, remove your power mirror switch at the driver side and clean the contact area, take a test light and check all wires for good connection. one by one test the voltage output,-/+ by pressing the switch, if all wires have output -/+ , and mirrors still not working, remove the switch connector, find out the three wires going to power mirror and direct it to - and positive voltage alternately, if the mirrors move, repair the wire that cut on the moving area, if still not moving repair or replace the two motors inside the mirror
Two things to check. First, depending which is easier (check that one first) you need to see if you are getting power to the switch itself. If neither mirror works, then the switch is dead, or one of the wires going to the mirror is dead. That is the most likely. The second would be to check if you are getting power out of the fuse box going to the power mirror switch, that way you can help determine if its a wirring problem.
Hi mate, Before you start checking the wiring.
Check the switch first, they can be faulty.
If they are ok, then check if the current is coming from the fuse to the switch. And if that fails have you wiring checked last.
