Default Power mirror issue

My power mirrors are not working correctly. Over time I have lost more and more movement control. Now I'm down to no control in drivers side mirror and I have up, down, and left movement on passenger side but no movement to the right. Is this a problem with the switch or a mirror motor problem?

I always thought my passenger side mirror motor had a problem because it would only go up and down about 50% of the time. I came to the conclusion it was the passenger motor because the drivers side mirror always worked fine. I recently replaced the switch with a Dorman switch because the light burned out inside. Now the passenger and drivers mirror work all the time in all positions. Didn't make much sense to me, but it cured my issue.

yeah. They go bad all the time, I've replaced a few that quit working. Chances are pretty good it's just the switch.

I'm sure someone has it. I just went to my ford parts department and they pulled it for me. Fixed the same issue on my truck and a buddies truck.

Tascaparts.com. It will take a couple of days to get it, but it's cheaper than the dealership and still OEM ford parts. I replaced mine, along with the window switches on the drivers side.

Damn, sorry I just saw your question. I got mine on Amazon for 16 dollars. It's a Dorman, but it works great, and as you can see the appearance is factory.
