93 240 Power Side Mirrors move sporadically - toggle switch or mirror motor problem? 200 1993

Hey all,

I just bought a 1993 240 (wagon) and realized that the powered side mirrors can only be adjusted sporadically, or not at all.

It's tough to get them to move using the toggle switches down next to the parking brake, and when they do, they seem to only move inward and downward, so you end up seeing only the side of the car and the ground.

The previous owner said that she hadn't adjusted the mirrors (or very, very rarely) in almost ten years (she was the only driver).

Do I need to lubricate something? Or replace the toggle switches?

It's driving me loony.

-Mike
