Default ES 300 power mirrors won't work

My power mirrors won't work on my 2001 ES 300. I checked all fuses. I checked for power to the switch and there is none. It is both mirrors and moving the switch does not help. David

There are two fuses. One in the main fuse box located in the engine compartment, and another fuse box behind the coin holder inside the car. You will need to pop-out the coin holder to access that fuse box.

Did you check the fuses in both locations?

I did check the fuse inside the car. I am not sure where the fuse is located in the engine compartment. I don't see a label for one. Thanks David

Pull the cover on the fuse block on the right hand side (cover looks like a Tetris piece), there is a location diagram.

I have looked in this engine area but I did not find a label for the mirror fuse. Does it come in conjunction with another electrical part? Everything on the car works fine. Thanks. David

Its a 10A Fuse. There should be only 2 10A fuses there. It also controls the Driver's side memory seat, and the AC, SRS, and some other circuits.

Does your mirror memory function work? In other words, if you move it manually, and than press the pre-set memory button, would it move back to its programmed position?

I am going out now to check for that fuse. My AC and SRS works and I have not tried the seat memory. I will get back. Thanks David

Thank you, thank you & thank you! After almost two years my mirrors now work. It was the 10a fuse labeled ECM. I never use my seat memory switch so I did not know there was a problem at that point. My AC light would come on but it has been so cold, I did not realize there was a problem. I did notice that whenever I put the climate control on auto that the heat was always directed at the floor but that did not click. I have been told that I had a bad switch and bought a new one to no avail. I was told that I had a bad ground so I took off the panels under the steering wheel and looked and looked. I was at the point of taking it to the dealer. Just to probably be charged for an hours work for a little fuse. I again want to thank you. Now, if you would just quit sending all that cold air down to KY, all would be great. Thanks David

I have an old 1998 ES300 and the 15 amp fuse under the coin drawer
labeled "CIG" was the fuse I need to replace to get my side mirror motors
to work.
