I'm having a problem with my power folding mirrors not completely folding. They fold about a 1/3 of the way and then they stop folding. The wiring was done correctly and I've searched several forums trying to see if anyone had already answered this question before. I'm assuming that the motor in the mirrors are pretty much shot. Thanks for the help.

Sounds right. Mine had a similar issue but luckily I had a spare set and just used the other. If you take them apart you will find a small nylon or plastic gear. You can check to see if it's stripped. Don't forget to make sure it's lubricated when you put it back. Also, keep in mind that the mirrors don't go all the way in to begin with. Especially your "driver" side. Hope this helps. Goodluck.
