Side mirrors do not operate

2008 Mustang GT convertible. I have replaced the mirror adjustment switch located in the drivers door and it still acts like there is no power to the switch. I have found a fuse panel at the passenger side kick panel. The windows and the dome light works fine. Any ideas are greatly appreciated???!!!

SOURCE: power door locks and windows

The answer to your question is maybe. Get a couple of switches from a junkyard (my guy gets $5.00 each) and try them. Here's why: I have no less than five different wiring diagrams, and none of them make any sense at all (been doing this stuff a really long time) I keep a good switch handy to check my jeeps when one gets wierd on me...even so, my 93 passenger window works with the key off, none of the others do. Stopped trying to figure it out a long time ago, but would really like to meet the guy who designed this stuff!

SOURCE: The power controls on the driver side door are not working.

the problem could lie in the drivers door loom between door and body there is a rubber hose which holds wiring, you need to pull this back and check for a broken wire within and then repair the wire to solve problems

It is most likely the switch - this part will be a little cheaper than the motor, so I suggest starting with that first. Then, if that doesn't work, replace the motor.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

SOURCE: i have a 2006 chevy trail blazer, the drivers side

Problems WithChevy TrailBlazers
ElectricalProblems
Some of the mostcommon problems with the TrailBlazer involve the vehicle's electrical systemand accessories. Many drivers have experienced problems with the dashboardgauges, including the fuel gauge, speedometer and "check engine"warning light. Additional electrical problems include power automatic doorlocks and windows that fail to work or operate intermittently. These problemscan be difficult to diagnose as they can result from anything from a faultybattery to problems with the wiring or other electrical components.
Read more: Problems With Chevy TrailBlazers ' eHow.com
A fuse contains a thin metal bridge between two terminals. When too muchelectrical current is drawn through the fuse the bridge melts, breaking thecircuit. This feature prevents damage to electrical components and limits thepossibility of a fire.The Chevrolet Blazer utilizes small fuses to protect thevehicle's wiring harness from overload. These are typically plug-in blades, notthe glass-barrel fuses used in older vehicles.
Location The fuse panel ona Chevy Blazer is located on the driver's side of the firewall beneath thedashboard. Some later models may be equipped with a fuse panel cover. To removethe cover, pull the retaining clips loose on each side and lift the cover fromthe panel. Replacing a Fuse Locatethe fuse you believe is burned out by its label or use the owner's manual as aguide. To remove the fuse, you may need needle-nose pliers; don't put too muchpressure on the fuse or you could crack the casing. Examine the thin metalstrip between the two terminals. If it is broken, scorched or deformed, it mustbe replaced. Read more: Fuse Box Instructions for a Chevy Blazer ' eHow.com

I have a 2002 Pontiac Booneville SE. The interior lamps, door locks, windows and sun roof do not work but I still have power to the mirros on the doors. What could be the problem?

Mirrors are separate from the other things.

Driver and Passenger Outside Mirror Operation
In order to control outside rear view mirror adjustments, two switches are contained within the driver door switch assembly (DDSA). The DDSA contains a built in mirror select switch and a built in mirror position switch. The DDSA reports the switch activity to the driver door module (DDM).
The mirror select switch is used to select which mirror, left or right, is to be moved.
The mirror position switch is used to move the mirror that has been selected to the desired position. When the mirror position switch is activated in a Up, Down, Left, or Right direction, the DDSA recognizes the input and sends this data on to the DDM via the power door serial data circuit. Depending on which mirror has been selected for adjustment, the DDM either moves the driver door mirror to the requested position, or sends a power door serial data message to the passenger door module (PDM) indicating that the passenger door mirror needs to be moved. The PDM then moves the passenger door mirror to the requested position.
Each mirror has two reversible motors for position adjustment. The door modules control the reversible motors by supplying Battery Positive Voltage (B+) and ground to these motors.

Outside Mirror System Components
The power outside mirror system consists of the following components:
• Driver door switch assembly (DDSA)
• Driver door module (DDM)
• Passenger door module (PDM)
• Driver outside mirror
• Passenger outside mirror
• Power door serial data circuit
• DRV MDL 10 A fuse (door module logic and internal driver operation)
• PASS MDL 10 A fuse (door module logic and internal driver operation)

Power Windows Operation
The vehicle is equipped with power windows controlled by the door modules. Each passenger door power window can be operated, either from a switch built into the driver door switch assembly (DDSA), or from a switch mounted locally on its associated door. The driver door power window can only be operated from the driver door window switch built into the driver door switch assembly (DDSA).
When the driver door module (DDM) receives a window switch request from the DDSA, the DDM checks the Class 2 serial data to see if the status information is correct (i.e. ignition switch position) to permit window operation to occur. If the status information is correct, the DDM, either supplies power and ground to its associated window motor, or, if the request is for one of the passenger windows, sends a command via the power door serial data circuit to the passenger door module (PDM, LRDM, or RRDM) controlling the window. The passenger door module (PDM, LRDM, or RRDM) controlling the window then supplies power and ground to its associated window motor to move the window as requested.
When one of the local window switches mounted on one of the passenger doors is operated, the associated door module examines the request and checks to see if there are any messages from the DDM prohibiting the movement. If conditions are correct, and no prohibitive messages have been received from the DDM, the associated door module then supplies power and ground to its associated window motor to move the window as requested.

The thing to do first would be to hook up a factory or some other type professional scan tool an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes.

DTC B3377, B3382, B3387, B3392, B3397, B3452, B3457, B3462, B3467, B3472, B3477, B3482, B3517, or B3522

Circuit Description
The switch that failed and generated this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is part of the driver door switch assembly (DDSA). The DDSA contains a microprocessor which takes the signal generated by this switch and assigns a digital message to it. The DDSA then sends this message over a power door serial data circuit to the driver door module (DDM).

Same thing for locks.

The DDM must be powered and must not have DTCs B1327-Battery Low Voltage or B1328-Battery High Voltage set for this DTC to set.

Your best bet might be to find a good auto electrician.

What would cause both side mirrors not to adjust when in reverse on a 2008 Acura MDX? both mirrors adjust just fine if you move them with the switch in the door but do not lower automatically when or on...

On the '04 MDX the mirror adjustment selection switch has to be in the middle position of L & R, for the mirror to re-adjust when the car is in reverse. I hope this helps.

Could have a DDS an PDS .depends on what RPO code yours has >
Outside Mirror Description and Operation (with RPO DL3)
Or
Outside Mirror Description and Operation (without RPO DL3)
Without
Heated Outside Rearview Mirror Operation
The REAR DEFOG relay controls the operation of the heated outside rearview mirrors. When rear window defogging is requested, the REAR DEFOG relay is energized and B+ is applied to the supply voltage circuit of the mirror heater element, located in the mirror face. A constant ground is also applied to the mirror face. Current will pass through the mirror heater element, warming the mirror, so long as the rear window defogger is commanded ON.

With
Heated Outside Rearview Mirror
The DDS and PDS control the activation of the mirror heaters. Upon receiving a serial data message indicating a request for heated mirrors, the DDS and PDS, will apply voltage to the mirror heater element supply voltage circuit. The mirror heaters will remain active until a new message is received indicating rear defogger is to be deactivated.
The power mirror system consists of the following components:
• Driver Door Switch (DDS)--An electronic control module with integrated switches and requires programming when replaced
• Passenger Door Switch (PDS)--An electronic control module with integrated switches, requires programming when replaced
• Power Mirror Direction Switch--Integrated into DDS and is a four position momentary switch that provides a signal input to the DDS for up, down, left/extend and right/retract with a mirror switch activation
• Mirror Select Switch--Integrated into DDS and is a three position switch that allows the operator to select the left or right mirror and also a neutral/fold position
• Mirror Extend/Retract Switch--Integrated into DDS and is a two position switch that allows the operator to select the mirror extend or mirror retract position
• Left Outside Power Mirror--Contains both the vertical and horizontal mirror motors
• Right Outside Power Mirror--Contains both the vertical and horizontal mirror motors
• Body Control Module--An electronic control module that requires programming when replaced, serves as the power mode master and is the main message handler
• Horizontal and Vertical Position Sensors, if equipped with memory mirrors--Supplied a 5-volt and low reference by the DDS/PDS and provide a variable voltage signal to the DDS/PDS that is proportional to mirror position
• Folding Mirror Motor, in each of the outside mirrors, if equipped with power fold mirrors--Provides extend and retract movements of the mirror and is serviced as a complete mirror assembly
Your best bet mite be to take to a qualified repair shop , i really don't think you'll be able to do anything with it.
Do you have wiring diagrams so you know which wires to test ,do you know how to do electrical testing ?
The Driver Door Switch (DDS) and Passenger Door Switch (PDS) supply voltage to the outside rearview mirror heater elements upon receipt of a serial data message from the HVAC module indicating that the rear defrost system is active. The door switch supplies B+ through the driver/passenger mirror heating element supply voltage circuit when a request is seen. Ground is applied through the driver/passenger mirror heating low reference circuit.

Both elec door mirrors stopped responding same tme, why?

First, make sure you do not have the mirror control switch in the "neutral" position. If it is, neither mirror will work. If the switch is in the correct position to operate each mirror and neither of them work, the next thing I would check would be the MIRRORS fuse (2 Amp) located in the Body Control Module Fuse Block under the right side of the dash near the blower motor. If the fuse is blown, you probably have one of your mirror circuits shorting to ground. In this case, I would replace the fuse and see if it blows again when I operate each mirror. If one side works and the fuse blows when trying to operate the other side, then you at least know which mirror circuit is shorted and you can diagnose accordingly. If the fuse blows immediately (without operating the switch), or if the fuse is not blown, then you most likely have a defective mirror control switch or a broken wire in the umbilical that goes between the body and the driver's door.

Replacing the drivers side mirror

Inside fuse box is under the drivers side dash panel, where your left knee would be sitting in the seat.

As far as the mirror, the access to the bolts are behind where your tweeter is on the inside of the car where the mirror meets.
