Good job on the post and the update saying it's fixed. An exemplary request for help.

Problem, year and model in the subject line
Brief summary of what you've tried and seen (e.g. checked fuse, RR works...)
Saying you've got the tools (DMM) but need some advice.
Adding your own experience and closing out with a result.

Do you have a power passenger mirror? That's the other switch cleaning task on the console: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=188677&highlight=switch

Thank you for your praise, I know what it's like to need details & not have them.

What's DMM?

OMG! I thought the mirror switch would be like the others...makes sense it's not though b/c it's not a rocker switch. Thanks for that link! An aside though, and I already looked for this bit of info...what's up with that dang mirror? I've read all about taking it off and there are different theories on where the position should be, etc. But really, are all of them tipped so far out? I have to have the seat ALLLLLL the way forward, and I truly need just ONE more notch forward to be good. With my being so far up the mirror doesn't even come close to where it needs to be...I KNOW THIS NEEDS TO BE IN ANOTHER THREAD...but is this the issue that is being discussed? In none of the threads I've read does anyone actually say MB pass mirrors are tipped too far out...I just read what people are doing WITH their mirrors, not why it's an issue. I don't drive on highways...the trees & grass in the mirror are much too distracting for me to keep the mirror way out there. Luckily my exBF mostly fixed the issue for me by inserting something inside the mirror to tip it in for me. It's better than it was!

I was able to manually adjust the passenger mirror by simply moving it with my hands. I have it where I want it and I'm the only driver, so I don't need any power to it. Good thing, it has failed.

My drivers side mirror doesn't have enough adjustment, so I'm considering one of those small convex stick-on mirrors. That won't really help on the passenger side, I wouldn't think.

Where you want the mirror is personal preference.

And yes the mirror is really wide. Being short would make it worse. There are opinions, but telling someone how to adjust their mirror is like telling them how to drive.

You could try disassembling the mirror to make sure it's not broken or loose, but there are probably better ways to spend your repair-time.
