Power Mirrors Don’t Work!

Hello! I just acquired a 2006 Gulf Stream Sun Voyager model 8388 on a Workhorse chassis with a 8.1 vortec. The power mirrors don’t move and appear to have no power to the switch. I’ve checked all fuses in the engine compartment and under the dash and found no blown fuses. Just thought I would ask before I dig even deeper in case someone has run into the same issue and can advise me on a fix. TIA!
  • My mirrors are powered via the module in the driver's door. I had to replace the wires through the hinge portion. If yours has this module and the window works, there is problems in the module.

    Do you recall which fuse it was or the amp rating? The diagram inside the cover doesn’t mention mirrors as I recall.
  • Had an intermittent problem with my mirrors also. Turned out to be the aux power solenoid in the electric bay. Can be had at almost any auto parts store.
  • ON my WH chassis there is a small fuse panel under the dash left side that is difficult to find and check. It is put on a holder that will allow you to reach up and slide it off to change a fuse. other than that you almost have to stand on your head to access it.

    Wish I could help but when I blew the fuse on my Workhorse I never did find it. And I checked every fuse I could find.

    I finally put in an alternative power feed to the switch. Took it off a handy "AUX" circuit (One that was live with the key in the ACCESSORY position) and ran it through a marker light (The old fashion incandescent type) so that if anything went "Strange" the light would come on.. It never came on.
