I have heated power mirrors on my Ram 1500 and they both stopped working at the same time. Could not find a fuse anywhere for the power mirrors, checked continuity in the switch and that tested out fine. Could not find any breaks or shorts in the wires either. Is there a fuse hidden somewhere for the mirrors and if not what do you think my problem could be?

Unfortunately there is no hidden fuse so we are missing something. I attached the wiring diagrams below and we need to review these and run through the wiring again just to make sure we are not missing something. Here is a guide that will help with this:

However, I suspect we still have an issue with the switch. Just because the switch is not open and has continuity does not mean it is able to carry a current. I would use the wiring diagrams below and test power coming out and going into them. if nothing is coming out then that is the issue.

The only other thing that this could be is a ground issue but each of these systems have separate grounds. So all we have is a fuse for each, the switch, wiring, and grounds.

Take a look at this material and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
