Default Ek9 power folding mirrors fold in, but not out????

Ok i just wired up my ek9 power folding mirrors, they arent actually wired into the car yet cause i got the switch with the milky white plug with 8 wires and not the green switch. I was able to figure out how to wire them up, cause there is no wiring diagram for that switch.

My Mirror adjustment works perfect, and i push the retract button and they folded in perfectly fine, then they just sit there, they are supposed to fold back out right??? I cant figure this out, anyone have any ideas.

the civic type r switch with the milky white plug with eight wires split between two rows. all the diagrams i have found have a green plug with all the wires in a straigt line. like i said i was able to wire them up to where they adjust fine and fold in, but they just dont fold back out after words.

well, it's obviously something with your wiring.

You do know that you have to press the button again to fold them back out right?

Here are some pics of the plugs i recieved.

There is only one wire i cant figure our where it goes. What i found weird is that my driverside mirror plug has 7 wires on it, and all the diagrams i find the dirverside and passenger side plug only has 5 on each side. My passenger side has 5 but driver has 7, and i circled the wire which i can not find out where it goes too. The color of the wire is orange/white





Edit: well apparently photobucket doesnt want to show my circle, its the wire all the way to the left in the first pic, its kinda blurry but its right next to my left knee.
