Hmm.  Are they not coming when they're called?  Failing to grasp "sit" and "stay"?  Not eating their vegetables?  Dating musicians?

Alright.  What I meant by that was, how about a little more information?  What vehicle?  Year?  Maybe somebody will have a schematic.  Does neither work at all?  Just slowly?  Do they go the opposite direction from what you're expecting?  Do they work differently depending on the weather?

Gotta give us something to go on.

I don't have a wiring diagram for that gen of truck either.  There are a few places online though if you're willing to drop 5-15 bucks.

Meantime, check all your interior lights and cigarette/accessory sockets.  Do they all work?  Rear defroster?

Everything else is working and the power mirrors just seem to stop working one day????.

In that case, my first guesses would be fuse, or the switch.

I'd be a little surprised if the mirrors had a dedicated fuse, but I'd be even more surprised if they had a dedicated fuse AND it was located somewhere other than the standard fusebox.  Take a look at the ones you have in there, then look to pulling the switch and putting a volt meter on it to see if any wires have power.  If so, you're down to the switch itself being bad, or else a bad ground somewhere.

You can also just unplug the switch and make sure you have 12v going to it.  If so grab a wire and start jumping them and see if you can get a mirror to move.  :D

According to my schematic the cig./radio fuse supplies the power and the ground is at the left kick panel G200 for the master switch.
