Thanks all!

As per everyone's excellent advice, I peeled back the rubber boot to the
door and found....TA-DA!  3 broken wires.  Black, Black/Yellow and
Green/White.  I got the up and down part of the power mirrors (both
sides) fixed, but not side to side before I had to give up and go in the
house (it was snowing pretty hard, and I cut my thumb - hey, I know when
to give up!).

So there are a total of 8 wires running into the door.  The three
mentiond above, a blue & brown/red combo (for the speaker) and I assume
that the other 3 are for the power mirrors (since there is also a L/R
switch in there, it requires more wires I guess).  I'll have to go out
and check the other wires I guess to make sure there are no more breaks
(to get the side to side adjustment working).

Thanks everyone for their advice and suggestions!
