Folding side mirror power switch

Folding side mirror power switch
Howdy all,
One part of my overhauling of the Beast is the interior equipment.
I already solved an usual problem with master power button for side mirrors - mine had corroded even more, so cleaning of a contact did not work out (the copper track on interlayer via connections was gone). Fixed that and upgraded a blown light bulb with a white LED diode... Thanks again for BF forum fir circuit diagrams
Hopefully there is only one thing left - a not working switch, that folds the side mirrors (just by a glass window in a driver door).
I've been digging through the internet for the wiring diagram - sadly, all I found that is a rare mod of chevy. I couldn't believe it's a genuine switch - it is so loose so You could pull it out with a fingers :P My first thought was "aha, some of ya trust-me-im-an-engineer activity"
Guys, does any of You have a wiring diagram for that? I suspect it could be the fuse.

I was not sure about the purpose of the switch at all (no reaction on changing position). Googled, and found a topic with a photo showing exactly same switch in exactly same location on Blazer's door. It was stated that this is a side mirror folding switch. I thought of linking it here - despite I've spend last hour looking for it - I cannot find it over again.
I may bring some photos - I am going to extract the door panel to make some fixes.

I was going through my electrical schematics (looking for how my RF door switch could be disconnected yet still let the dome-light come on) and found that the the electrically folding side-view mirrors were on the GMC Envoys in 1999.

I surely will be dismantling the inner left door panel (dunno exactly when, the one I have is all loose) and update the topic with what I've found.
Cheers,

Sorry buddy, not yet. I am going to work on my ride at a spring time (LIM gaskets job is waiting). Nowadays the daylight is too short and my garage is a cold place...
By the way, I have doubts if the switch is truly for folding, as I found on the Internet. I have a feeling it's for mirror heating. Anyway, will find out a spring time.
