The driver side mirror on my 07 is not extending. My wife says it is not making any noise at all like it is even trying to extend. What are my options on fixing this?

If the other options like power windows are working, have her try to fold the mirror out by hand.
Don't use too much force.

She didn't, didn't work and didn't want to put too much pressure on it.

Mine stopped working a few years back and was exhibiting the exact same symptoms as yours is. Mine was a fairly simple fix, the wiring plug for what ever reason came unplugged from the motors connector inside the mirror. All I had to do was pop off the mirror cap and although it was a bit of a tight spot, was able to reconnect the plug, and it has been working fine since.

I tried that when I got home and it didn't fix it.

How does the mirror cap come off so I can get inside? I don't want to break off any snaps or anything.

I've never been able to get the caps off without breaking the tabs.

I managed to pry the outside cap off with a screwdriver, it came off pretty easily.
The motor makes a slight "rr" for half a second but nothing moves. I didn't see anything blocking it but maybe more surgery is required.
