Hi Keith,
         I recently dealt with this problem and the List pointed me in the
correct direction. In my case the wires from the drivers side mirror were
all broken inside the rubber boot that you can see when you open and close
the door. I cut open the boot and exposed the wires which were all broken.
You can either solder or use connectors for the repair. This solved the
problem. Hope this helps.
