Having problems with my mirrors, they're not doing a thing.

I've tried tracing the wires back down to the kick panel and everything is plugged in fine but I can't trace it much further than that. I also can't find a wiring diagram anywhere mentioning anything about the mirrors.

Is there a fuse and a relay hidden away somewhere and if there is where can I find it?

Assuming you have the change over switch on the centre console I'd have a look there. The joystick knobby is prone to bad connections as well. I think wiring diags are on Rick Cannells site.
The mirrors are a pain to change as the plug & socket have to be dismantled to get them through the door.

Had the centre console out and checked the connections but not tested the switch yet. Have fitted a new joystick from another car and nothing there. Have also removed both mirrors and cleaned up the connections.

One thing I did notice is that the part number for the mirrors starts with 911 but the wire colours (mostly) match up, surely that can't be the issue though as otherwise why would the previous owner have changed both for the same number?

Are the mirrors making any kind of noise,like the motor is running but the mirror is not moving?

No noise at all, there doesn't seem to be any power getting to them which is why I was thinking fuse or relay.
