rear view mirrors help

[jdmem205]

ok so I have power mirrors in my civic all of it is oem. well when I go to use the switch for the passenger side it makes a noise like it wants to move but it doesnt and when I switch to the driver side it doesnt make a sound or an effort to move the mirror.

a few things I have tried to see if they would fix the problem, I have traded out switches and that didnt solve the issue. and tonight I grabbed a mirror from a fellow ek owner that for a fact the mirrors work and I tried connecting it to my harness, I tried the driver side and same thing just like my og mirror no noise or movement now when I tried the mirror on the passenger side and it worked.

so what can be the problem the driver side isnt working?

Easy dood! People have other things going on. We help when we can.

Here's your options:
-Bad Mirror
-Bad Switch
-Door harness issue (Cut wire somewhere)

I'ma guess a bad wire somewhere. Test your switches & mirrors on someone elses car and make sure they work.
