They just stopped working (not good for doing the drive thru thing) , checked fuses and the cb all appear to be good what fuses are tied in with this circuit? the radio delay works fine

I had a similar issue with my power mirrors where i checked all the fuses and they were good. The problem i had was the wire that runs from the fuse box to the mirror switch had either been pinched or had internally blown. The only way to see if its the wire is to use a voltmeter with a continuity tester (ie. puts voltage into the wire and if its intact the meter will beep) and see if the wire is broken between the door and the car. All the wires run in a plastic tube. If it is the wire you are going to have to run a new wire from the fuse panel to the window switch. Hope this helps if you have any questions let me know.

loose wire

After checking out fuses , it was the wire after all , but someone had fixed it once already but they justtwisted and taped the wire and over time it came apart
 






Could someone tell me what specific wire to check, my '02 recently started this problem out of the blue. I've also chacked all the fuses and all are O.K.
 












There is two "RED" wires, one with a blk stripe and one with a gry stripe, which one should be the pwr wire. I checked them all yesterday and did not have voltage on any of the wires. Where does the pwr come from?
 






I had them fixed for a week then they stopped again, this time I disconnected eveerything so that the whole harness could be pulled from the door and found a broken wire , i believe it was a blue with orange stripe, I think this is the easiest way to check these wires
