Electric mirror fix

Sympoms: One mirror would go left, right, and down, and down again when switch moved up. The other mirror only went left, right, and clicked when switch moved down.
Fix: Carefully pry out switch, remove rubber knob, unscrew retaining ring, take off switch faceplate. Carefully... push out threaded rivets to open switch case. Carefully... remove parts without losing any of the tiny springs, etc. (Take a photo here before you forget how they came apart) Patiently clean the gunk off of all contacts. I used a tiny screwdriver and some carb cleaner. Marvel at how robust these contacts really are as they come back to life. Apply some di-electric grease to the parts so that the little hat contacts don't fall out on re-assembly and re-assemble.
Mirrors work great. Very satisfying. These switches were practically made to be taken apart.
Cheers.
