First, check the selector switch and make sure its not in "LOCK" (center) between dr side and pass side.
Since you stated you checked fuse, the next item to check is the switch.
Time to get out the multi-tester.
Check to see if you are getting power to switch.
And if you are then mostlikely the switch is bad,
IF not...the trouble is either in the console or under dash.
Since you have the multi-tester out..double-check the fuse for continuity.

We learn that the mirrors are not on the aux setting on the older years just the "on" setting of the ignition switch. Not real sure when this changed. But a buddy who has an 86 said his only work with the key in the "on" position.
