yep, they're dead.

The fuse is good. According to the Haynes manual schematic, the circuit is shared with the underhood lamp. Lamp works fine.

Niether mirror works.

Is there an additional relay somewhere?

could be a bad motor, they die just like the window motors do.
 






I'd be checking the fuse right next to the switch in the door panel or the switch itself

Thanks!

I'll look for that fuse in the switch area. I didn't see it when I took it all apart. Where might it be located? I don't see it. I checked the one in the passenger compartment and the one under the hood.

But it looks like the one in the passenger compartment is N/A on a 4 door.

I haven't yet checked the switch.

Probably motors. I just thought it odd for them both to be fail.
 






Check the switch, they have been known to get water/whatever in them when the door is open in the rain/snow etc and corrode inside.

Check at pin 4 of the switch for +12v, following the schematic you can obviously check the switch and its outputs too. I doubt all 4 motors (one for up down, other for left right) in both mirrors would all fail at the same time.

Put a small screwdriver in the little slot at the bottom of the switch panel on the door and pop it out, you don't have to take the whole door panel off. Some poking around with the schematic and a test light / multimeter should fix this easily.
