Is it the switch? The left one stopped moving. The passenger side one only moves inward (left towards the car) It does not move in any other direction.

At one point, I forget which one now (I think the passenger one) would move left when I pushed the switch downward and the same for upward.


I saw another thread on here about avoiding aftermarket mirrors. How often can you still run into a good condition OEM mirror? My driver side mirror's body is a bit loose. Probably was hit at one point. The glass vibrates at speed and it's getting annoying enough to replace it

I picked one up from a junk yard for my '96 and it works great.
But if both mirrors are acting up, I'd say it's the switch.
 






Check for broken wires.
 












Where's a good common spot for checking for broken wires?

As of right now both mirrors stopped working.
