That's what I thought... I had the same problem after a 4 month complete repaint.

I tore my car completely apart and sent all the pieces to the bodyshop to be painted, since this was the second time the car had been painted I cut the mirror wires on the drivers side where the body shop had cut them the first time, the electric mirror internals sat on a shelf in my garage until I got the car back.

Once I started reassembling everything I got in there and soldered all the wires back together but the mirrors did not work correctly even though I wired them back up exactly as they were.

Since this was very simplistic wiring I presumed something must have been damaged in the wire harness when the body shop rehung the doors or a switch had gone bad.

I struggled with them for a week before I stumbled on the answer and figured out that they were wired correctly the first time.

This is going to sound weird… I can't explain how or why this worked…try tapping on them lightly with your knuckles before you work the switch, I had to do this for about a week after the car was back together and being driven regularly again, now they work great all the time every time.

Sorry for the long response but I thought my suggestion needed to be prefaced.

Good luck, let me know what happens.
