Default Side Mirrors direction and memory seat problem

I pulled the mirrors off to have them sprayed black put it back together and now the directional controls are all messed up. On the drivers side I push left, it goes right, on the passenger side I push up it goes down.

If I use the memory seat recall option the mirrors keep forcing themselves to one extreme end so all the way up non stop for example.

Body shop says it needs programming.

Took it to the dealer and they say it's a pinched wire problem. I looked over everything again and I'm 100% nothing is pinched or wrong with any connection.

The painter at the dealer told me nothing was disconnected internally to the mirror. The connectors on the door can only go on one way.

I tried disconnecting battery for as long as 30 minutes and problem persists.

I'm at a loss, I really think this is a programming issue of some sort.

I did this on my stingray and did not have this problem.

Does anyone know if disconnecting mirrors requires some sort of dealer programming or have any insight to what could be going on?

Thanks!

Figured out the problem. The painter put the mirror motors back in the wrong mirror. I swapped them and everything works fine now. That only took two hours at the dealer and four hours for me at home tearing everything apart again checking resistance on all wires to see what was "pinched" according to dealer which was just a waste of time.
