my power mirrors stopped working. both sides. I suspect there is a fuse involved, but every fuse test good.

So where is the fuse for the power mirrors supposed to be?

My mirrors lately have been somewhat intermittent, so I sometimes wonder if the switch itself may be out to lunch.

Here is a way to test the voltage to see if it is working through the body harness to switch.
See 06 factory Service manual. http://www.colorado4wheel.com/manuals/Jeep/KJ/2006-KJ-SM.pdf

You have to remove the power mirror switch I believe section 8 describes removal etc.
Then Disconnect the wires/connector from back of power mirror switch.

Next then switch ignition to the run position...
Connect a 12 volt test light, to Pin # 5 in the harness connector at mirror switch.

Touch the test light probe to pin #3.
Hopefully then the test light illuminates, proving that the wiring circuit between the battery and switch are fine.

By chance if the lamp doesn't light up, then check the fuse 25 which is located in the junction block.
If the junction block fuse is good, then it is time to start looking for potentially a wire with poor continuity/broken.

I think mine has been intermittent I got it. but I don't change mirrors much so I never bothers with it. But in new house I back into driveway and I need to be right on the edge so I need to turn mirror down to see.

oh well, they started working again. Noticed they were working again just before I discovered the water pump failed :(

Mine stopped working almost a year ago. Today I decided to check the problem. The electric mirror control is broken. The rearview engines are working well. Watch my video on you tube to find out how I did the mirror engine test. It is in Portuguese but it is not difficult to understand the procedure.

I’ve found that they start sticking if not used regularly and some manual adjustment with using the switch tends to loosen things up
