Side mirrors on strike

When the door lock actuators started failing is when I noticed the hatch opening 50% of the time and the side mirrors not working at all. Once I replaced all the door lock actuators the hatch miraculously started to work 100% of the time :confused: but the side mirror issue persisted.
I forgot about this issue until recently. I never adjust them cause I'm the only driver. While sealing the paint the fact that they haven't been working crossed my mind and now I gots to fix'em. They are the only things that do not work. These Japanese gremlins have got to be on par with the German species concerning electrical issues. :mad:
I search a fair amount using google and on infinitiscene but cannot find anyone that's had this issue and has gone into any depth about it. Tried searching for G35's as well with no luck. I'm gonna check the FSM and see what I dig up next.
Someone point me to any info regarding this issue please. :whistle:
 
New actuators....everywhere!

Those are the main gremlins my ‘03 suffered from, other than standard maintenance, but every one I replaced fixed long standing Gremlins..

Bite the bullet, or check out the second generation ones.

IMHO :cool:
 
I already fixed the actuators. The mirrors don't work, both of'em. It's impossible to believe that both mirror motors died at the same time and that they did so when the door lock actuators started failing in earnest. It's a power delivery issue and I'm just not that knowledgeable on the subject and just don't care enough to learn about it but was hoping someone out there was and could share.
 
I doubt I'll figure it out but I think I"ll get some actionable feedback from the Z/G crowd.
