Mirrors: Description and Operation

Each Outside Mirror has two reversible motors: one to adjust the mirror view up and down, the other to adjust the mirror view right and left. The driver operates four switches that control the polarity of the voltage to the motors. The Power Mirror Switch directs these control voltages to either the RH or LH Outside Mirror.

To move the LH Mirror up, set the Power Mirror Switch to the "LEFT" position and the Mirror Adjuster Control to the "UP" position. Voltage is applied to terminal "C" of LH Outside Mirror through the motor and the Mirror Select Switch back to Mirror Adjuster Control to ground. To move the LH Mirror down, move the Mirror Adjuster Control to the "DOWN" position. Voltage is applied through the Mirror Select Switch to terminal "B" of the LH Outside Mirror back through the Mirror Adjuster Control to ground.

Similar switch operations take place in moving the mirror "LEFT" or "RIGHT."

The RH Mirror operates in a similar manner to the LH Mirror.
