I've never heard of a mirror motor going bad, specifically both of them.

Just rock the mirror to the full "UP" and "IN" position to expose a gap under the bottom.

Then insert a flat blade screwdriver in the rectangular opening under the plastic mirror base from the bottom. GENTLY twist the screwdriver to pop the glass carrier off. Takes about 15 seconds once you know how:





Here's what the inside of the housing looks like with the mirror popped off. Notice the two slots at 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock where the anti-vibration springs ride.





Here is the back view of a heated Mountaineer mirror but the original Ranger mirrors look similar. You want to pry where shown, NOT at the other rectangular opening that you can see near the lower edge of the mirror:



When reassembling, be sure to line up the anti-vibration spring(s) in their slots (Driver side has two springs as shown, passenger side has only one). Then just use even pressure to snap the mirror back onto the adjustment platform in the housing.

The fact that BOTH mirrors are inop would imply that the problem is more likely to be with something that is common to both: power, ground or switch.
