Why Wont My Mirrors Work?
My power side mirrors won't work and its finally frustrated me enough to post a thread about it. I've replaced almost all my fuses, I bought 3 different mirror joystick switches, I've checked and re-checked every single wire and nothing. I read that there is a power mirror ecu that everyone says is in one of the back seat side panels but all I see is the fuel pump ecu, the keyless entry antenna and a noise canceler for the oem stereo.
I'm about to tear my hair out.

Ummmm, get ready to laugh OLT. So my mirrors haven't worked since I did my 97+ cluster swap and to get as much working slack as I could, I completely disconnected and removed my wiring harness so I could work on it inside. Well, as it turns out, I just went and looked and apparently I never plugged the mirror ecu back in 
But hey! My mirrors work now
By the way, thank you so much for the help OLT, even though I feel like a complete idiot now.

you know, ive been contemplating about posting this thread for a while now. I bought a 95 SC and the mirrors on it don't work. been wondering what the issue was. Checked out all the fuses but didn't do the controller swap. that was going to be next on my list but i have a feeling its the ecu. Is this thing expansive?
Love the responses by OLT btw lol. way to go!

The Lexus SC bible. I used to have both volumes 1 & 2 until some punk kid stole em while I was working on his SC400. I think they're just called the Lexus SC400 repair manual. Volume 1 covers everything mechanical and volume 2 covers everything electrical.
