2000 F150 V6 - Mirrors not working...

So, got this truck a few days ago and I am fixing issues.
my current problem is the power mirrors will not move. I have check the fuses, and they are fine. But I am wondering if there is a fusebox I can't find. Anyone know where the mirror fuse is??
Also, if you have had this issue on a similar truck maybe you can shed light on the cause. Please help me out cuz this is annoying.

Thanks

How did you check the fuses ?
1. Pull and stare and reinstall
or
2. Use a meter to test to the pins on the back of the fuse on both sides with the fuse installed in the slot

the fuse for the power mirrors is CJB ( aka Central junction box , cab fuse panel ) fuse # 4 5A.

No motion out of either mirror when you turn the adjustment **** from left to right ?

If you want to directly test for power, pull the power mirror switch, and test for power on the orange w/ light green stripe wire using the black as the ground.

If you have power here, twist the switch to the right mirror and press the mirror switch up, while checking for power on the yellow & violet wires ( same for down, the polarity is reversed ).

Figured it out last week. The driver's side one would move a tiny bit to the right, but then go back to it's original position. I finally got a chance to check the switch and it was giving a weak voltage to the mirrors...not enough to move them. Changed out the switch ($20 at NAPA) and they work great now. Yes I checked all the fuses (with your stare test) and they were good. Thanks for the info.
