both L and R mirrors move up, down, and left but do not move right. when mirror switch is pressed left down and right power wires become ground for left and up. when pressed left, down becomes ground for down only. shouldnt it become ground for right also? power wires are blue (up) brown (left) and green for both right and down. all wires are getting power. it just doesnt make sense to me that right would have a seperate ground. any advice? what am i missing here?
 
is it possible they dont move any further right?
When I got my car, because it was a stick, I moved my seat further forward than I usually drove with so I could put that clutch in all the way without having to really REACH! and my mirrors arnt alliend perfectly becuase Im so far forward....

If anything, you can always rip off the mirrors and adjust their sitting area so they can move more in your sight range. Look up how to do so for your specific model, Im sure theirs a guide somewhere out their if you really wanted to do that!
Good luck!
 
I really don,t have a answer for you ,but i just wanted to let you know that you don,t want to push in on the mirror to hard are you will break the gears and then the whole mirror want work.
 
this is the problem bro, ground shouldnt have any power at all, that means that whenever youre testing the switch when you press it the only wire that should have power is the one that you're pressing to activate the switch, if youre gettin power at ground then you must have a short thats not letting the switch ground correctly and therefore the right isnt working, or it could just be the switch thats defective
you should get a wiring diagram to figure out how the switch works and what hot at all times and what is actual ground for the switch, or if it doesnt control ground, then it might be controlling power.
