mirror adjustment problem

[smithrep]

neither of my mirrors work when I try adjusting. Well actually, they move some but it is like something is keeping them from doing what they are supposed to do. any suggestions?

Thanks.

Gently push the mirror in the direction that you want to adjust it. (You'll hear some popping sounds) Then see if it moves when you adjust it with the switch. If it doesn't work, move the mirror in the opposite direction by hand and then try again with the switch.

I don't bother too much with them. Once set, they don't move. When I do want to move them, I just move them with my hands. Neither this, nor the F250 have the best "power" mirrors.

Mine were very erratic. Would move all 4 ways sometime, only 1 or 2 ways at other times. I finally removed & dissassembled the switch, scraped some small bits of corrosion off the contacts with a pick, sprayed with WD-40, reassembled & they have been fine ever since............ Jim

could be a bad control switch for the motors...
