Power Mirrors Not Working
 
I have tried three different switches...none of them worked. Is there a special fuse for the power mirrors somewhere?

I dont knoe if there is any fuse for the power mirrors, but check your fuses. You can use a test light to kno if you are getting 12v on the mirror switch at the center console. Also the mirror switch can be checked using continuity test from a multimeter.

I do not know how to use or get/buy any of the things you have said.
Care to explain to me?

ok, first check all the fuses to discard if any is blown.

Then do the test with the ignition switch in ON position.

Then in the mirror switch wiring harness located on the center console, one of that cables have 12 volts, another is for ground and the other ones are for moving the mirror in any position. That means if you find what cables are the ones that move the mirror to the positions and jump it with the cable that have 12v, the mirrors would move. You need to jump one cable at time.

To check if the mirror switch is in good working condition, you need to check the continuity across the terminals on the switch. You will get continuity when you press any position on the switch and have one test lead of the multimeter on one terminal and the other test lead in another terminal. If you get that reading in all positions, the switch is OK. To check continuity, you will need a a/c and d/c multimeter.
