Yup, I got a copy of the wiring schematic for the system, and noticed there were only two places that there could have been a connection break that would produce those symptoms, and that spot right there was one of the two.

I figured it out!!! For any of you who have this issue (and just ignore it) I've got a fix for you! I hope this helps you out Smitty.. The problem is inside of the switch itself, it appears one of the circuit board contact areas gets filled in with dirt or corroded and breaks contact. The problem area is right before the circuit connects to the down and right buttons, and therefore doesn't affect the other two. Take a look at the picture below. You'll have to take out the switch from the door, it's held in with small little protrusions that make it a pain to remove. Use a small flat head screwdriver and take your time. Once you have the switch out, you'll have to do the same painstaking task to open up the switch, I've provided a picture of what it should look like when you put it back together, because mine popped apart on me the first time I took it apart. The two small holes in the circuit board that are circled in RED are the culprits, use a small fine pointed tool like the one pictured to poke through and clean out the holes, then put it all back together.

The other day my power mirror switch half gave out on me. It used to struggle sometimes moving either mirror down and to the right (sometimes i'd have to push in the opposite direction for a second for it to work) but now it just plain wont move either mirror down or to the right, I can only adjust up and left. When I was shopping for my truck, I test drove one with the same problem. Is this a common issue? Did the switch give out on me, or is there a loose wire somewhere in my door panel? I took the switch apart and cleaned it, everything looked good inside. Oh also it doesn't illuminate anymore (not sure if it did before this issue however). Thanks, Stu
