Thats the one it was fuse #12 but now when I touch my power mirrors it keeps blowing so I need to track it down I guess. Or maybe just dont move the mirrors lol..........

If you have it narrowed down to the rear view mirrors, try disconnecting either side. Reload a fuse and try again.
This is a down and dirty way to check if you have enough spare fuses to blow.

If you have a meter which will allow you to check for a grounded POWER wire for either or both sides, that is where I would start.
Obviously there is a small motor involved to move either mirror so it is more than likely that one of them is shorted out.
