Have a few small issues with my e55

When I bought my car the sideview mirrors would not adjust. not a big deal seeing as i dont really have to move the seat from the previous owner. however, since getting the car I have been trying to fix all the small issues that it has and this is on the list. Is there a fuse that may have burnt out? if so where is it located. I have searched around and can only find things for the e500 and such, dont know if the fuse box is similar (doubt it).
any help would be great!

I had the same issue, turned out the control switch was faulty. Replaced the switch and everything worked fine after that.
