Electric Mirror Fault

Hi,

My car has been sat up over winter, the electric mirrors worked prior to this. Now my passenger side mirror doesn't move but the drivers side does.

Anything spring to mind?

Connector in the NS A pillar.

Switch isn't above suspicion, and BOTH A pillar connectors are suspect - NS mirror signal passes through both.
Does the mirror click if you try to move it up and down?

Hi guys,

Thanks for the ideas. Both connectors are good and yes, the n/s mirror does click if I try to move it up and down.

Does this mean the motor has failed?

Use a 12 volt bulb (NOT a meter) to check that there is power at the black wire at the mirror with the ignition on.
Pull the black wire and the brown wire out of the back of the motor assembly (just pushes in), and connect those wires to your bulb.
Bulb should light.
