Take a look at this video series (3 x 10 min episodes) of a DIY diagnosis and repair for the left/right mirror adjust.

In his case, it was for an '81 SC, and turned out to be wiring issue. He fixed that and also showed how to do a mirror overhaul to make movements faster/smoother.

Youtube channel: @Dr.Garage911 --- Episodes 140 / 141 / 142

NOTE: video has no voice/dialogue ; displays clear captions in English/Japanese --- very entertaining --- you could browse through the 239 episodes on his channel --- closest thing there is to video version of "101 Projects".

Hope it helps you. Enjoy and good luck!

Since the joystick is the thing they both share, my assumption is the switch or the wiring to the switch is unhappy.

Is this a common thing & can the switch be cleaned up or does it need to be replaced?
