Sorry about that, I'm not too computer saavy. My name is aaron. The rig is a 1992 Fleetwood southwind on a Ford chassis. It has power rear view mirrors on driver and passengers side. The control panel is located on the driver side armrest. I noticed the L/R selector switch had some soot on it and possibly burnt out. I replaced that DPDT switch with a new one. Now I get voltage going up to the mirror motor when I activate the "joystick" to select the mirror position. But still no movement from the motor/mirror

I'm with you on that course pale horse. It seems like it would be a lot of trouble to get to those motors and replace. Is there a breakdown I can order somewhere to tear it down or do I need to buy the complete mirror unit

So is it common to have both mirrors fail?

No not common, for the age of yours, bad, corroded connections, no power, burned up motors, motors frozen up, locked in place, even though there is power to them. The list goes on and on........Troubleshooting with a meter will take you to the problem...............Good luck 
I am sure that you can repair the motor drives, if they are in fact the problem.?

I just looked at it again. Doesn't look too bad to remove the mirror and get to the motor. I'm going to attempt to spray some QD electronic cleaner and try to free it up. On the other hand I can I can adjust the mirror manually. We will see if corrosion is the culprit. Thanks again PH89
