    Power mirror not working

    My passenger side mirror is no longer working. I just had the car painted and the door harnesses were unplugged from the jambs and both mirrors were removed and painted separately. After putting everything back together, the passenger side mirror no longer works. It clicks when you are adjusting both the driver side mirror or when you try to adjust the passenger side mirror but it does not move. Everything else on the passenger door works (power lock and window).

    I tried swapping out the motor with 2 different spares and they both do the same thing....just click when the button is pressed. I tried a spare switch too.

    What else could be wrong?

    Haha, same thing happened to me. Car went for paint and when I put the mirrors on the passenger side doesnt work.
    I haven't bothered to test it all with a logic probe yet.

        Same thing happened to me too. The door pins were dirty or corroded or whatever. Cleaned em up with some contact cleaner (and scraped a little with a small screwdriver - and blew 2 fuses) and it was all good.

          You guys were right. My dad and I unplugged the door harness, sprayed it with contact cleaner, and scraped off some corrosion on one of the pins. The mirror works perfectly now! Thanks
