A common problem with a short in the mirror circuit is the wiring that comes from the body to the door. When you open the door you will see a wire loom between the door hinges. If the fuse blows when attempting to adjust either mirror it would be on the drivers side. If the fuse blows only when adjusting the right mirror check the loom on the passenger side. From bending back and forth it is common that one or more of the wires in the loom have broken and possible shorted together. That would be the first place I would start to look to find this problem.

Hi:
You should first examine the wire harness that feeds from door frame to the door. These get worn rub thru, and bare wires touching metal cause the fuse to blow. It can be on either front door. if they look good, find and disconnect the harness plug , one side at a time to narrow down the problem. Once you figure out which one it is, you are going to have to get at the units, and that involves a little door disassembly.

Remove the door panel and isconnect the mirror and see if the fuse still blows, if it does the wiring is at fault to the mirror, if no fuse issue the mirror motor is shorted.

2004 Lexus keeps blowing ECU-B fuse

A bad outside mirror motor will also cause that fuse to blow. Is your fuse blowing when you adjust the mirrors or when you put the car in reverse? If yes, then the mirror motor is the problem.

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.

First off, I'd like to say thank God for a site like this, and thank you for helping me "office drone1". And here is my last question for now. Today, I put on my 94' Grand Prix, the Passenger side power...

Since the locks stopped working as well, my guess is a fuse is blown. The first thing you should always do when accessories or lights or electrical things stop working is check all of your fuses (sometimes you'll have them in the engine bay as well as under the dash). I can't tell you how many times I've spent hours trying to track down an electrical problem only to discover that work I was previously doing had made a fuse blow.

It may also be a bad relay but I'd start with the fuses first.

Power mirror not working but no fuse blow

I don't know what your question is but if it is what fuse is for your power mirrors it is fuse #4 in your central junction box which is in the cab of your truck. Good luck.
