Default Power mirrors, temp read out not working in 1999

So, I just bought a 1999 Chevy Blazer. It's in really good shape, but the power mirrors, and temp read out aren't working, I checked the fuse and it's good. I'm not getting anything from the mirrors. No sound, movement at all.

Thanks in advance.
Joshua

So, I fixed the power mirrors. After reading a few posts, people kept talking about the switch. I took out the switch, took the switch apart, cleaned the circuit board and contacts with electronic cleaner, put it all back together, and bam! Power mirrors work again.

Is the display not lit of the temp or are you just not getting a reading? If no reading you will need to replace the sensor which is located behind the grill. Pretty easy swap out.

Is the compass part lit up or the whole thing out? If the whole thing is out then it is either a power issue or the unit is kapoot. If the compass part is working then the sensor for the temp needs replaced.

Nothing is lit up, no temp, no compass, nada. I'm guessing that it's kapoot. Going to pull it out today and see if any connections are obviously broken.

I bought a used overhead console off eBay. Works like a champ.
