Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, screwdriver set, and a fuse puller.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Inspect the Power Mirror Adjustment Switch
  • Remove the switch panel using a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it up.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the back of the switch.
  • Test the switch using a multimeter for continuity when pressed. Replace if faulty.
3. Check the Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box (usually found under the dashboard or in the engine bay).
  • Identify the fuse related to the power mirrors (check the diagram on the fuse box cover).
  • Use a fuse puller to remove and visually inspect the fuse. Replace with an identical fuse if blown.
4. Test Power Supply to Mirrors
  • Reconnect the battery and use a multimeter to check the voltage at the mirror connector.
  • If the voltage is absent, trace back the wiring for breaks or shorts.
  • If the voltage is present but mirrors do not respond, the motors may be defective.
5. Inspect Wiring Harness
  • Visually inspect the wiring harness leading to the mirrors for fraying or disconnections.
  • Repair or replace any damaged sections of the wiring.
6. Test Mirror Adjustment Mechanism
  • If electrical issues are resolved but mirrors still do not move, manually check the mirror adjustment mechanism for mechanical jams.
  • Lubricate any stiff components and ensure full range of motion.
