Without Defogger


Function Test

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the mirror switch or the dashboard driver's lower cover when prying the switch out.





Without Defogger
1. Pry the switch out of the driver's dashboard lower cover.
2. Disconnect the 10P connector from the switch.


Both Mirros
1. Check for voltage between the No.2 (BLK/YEL) terminal and body ground with the ignition switch ON (II).
There should be battery voltage.

* If there is no voltage, check for:
- blown No.17 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- an open in the BLK/YEL wire.

* If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.

2. Check for continuity between the No.4 (BLK) terminal and body ground.
There should be continuity.

* If there is no continuity, check for:
- an open in the BLK wire.
- poor ground (G551).

Left Mirror
Connect the No.2 (BLK/YEL) terminal of the 10P connector to the No.3 (YEL/RED) terminal and the No.5 (or No.6) terminal to body ground with jumper wires. The left mirror should tilt down (or swing left) when the ignition switch is turned ON (II).

* If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), remove the left door panel, and check for an open in the BLU/WHT (or BLU/BLK) wire between the left power mirror and the switch.
* If the wire is OK, check the left power mirror actuator.
If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the YEL/RED wire.
* If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror switch.

Right Mirror
Connect the No.2 (BLK/YEL) terminal of the 10P connector to the No.3 (YEL/RED) terminal and the No.9 (or No.8) terminal to body ground with jumper wires. The right mirror should tilt down (or swing left) when the ignition switch is turned ON (II).

* If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), remove the right door panel, and check for an open in the GRN/WHT (or YEL/BLK) wire between the right power mirror and the switch.
* If the wire is OK, check the right power mirror actuator.
- If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the YEL/RED wire.
* If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror switch.
