Power Mirror Operation

Ok, im going to just make myself look dumb with this one, but at this point, I dont care anymore.

I currently own my third second gen RX7. All of my rx7's have had the (so called) Power Mirrors. The thing is, HOW THE HELL DO YOU OPERATE THEM?!?! The switch that is in the center console has 4 directional arrow and only moves in 2 directions. How is that supposed to control the mirror? Also, in all of my 7's this switch has never done anything. I never really spent time on it, other than checking it had proper voltage and the connector was plugged in. Could someone explain this?

Um... OK...
The little switch in the middle sets the contol for the left or right mirror, make sure you're watching the right mirror.
The main control has 4 direction arrows.
Press the up arrow, the mirror tilts up.
Press the down arrow, the mirror tilts down.
Press the left arrow, the mirror tilts left.
Press the right arrow, guess what...
This all happens pretty slowly, so watch carefully before assuming nothing is happening. If absolutely nothing happens, check the fuse.

Thanks jason, that is pretty self explanatory, never thought that any of those arrows did anything! I thought they were just solid plastic. I supposed if I just played with it as opposed to getting speeding tickets all the time, maybe I would have figured it out.
