Operation
Each of the outer rear-view mirrors is operated by means of a four-position switch.

The two switches, 124 (left) and 125 (right), are supplied from fuse 8, via the 29-pole red connector 152B.

Each rear-view mirror will turn in the same direction in which the switch lever is pressed. For horizontal setting, only the mirror motors are used. For vertical setting, a solenoid is also energized, which causes the motors to move the mirrors vertically, instead of horizontally.

The following table lists the cables that are live/earthed in each switch position:

Left - Hand Switch 124 And Motor 126:




Right - Hand Switch 125 And Motor 127:





Fault-tracing hints
The rear-view mirrors will be operative when the ignition switch is in the drive position.

1. Check fuse 8 and check that the supply to it is live.

2. Check that the supply to the corresponding switch is live.

3. Check that the supply to the corresponding motor and to the solenoid is live, by operating the switch. The table shown in the "Operation" section lists the cables that are live in each switch position:

4. Check the connectors, cable harnesses and earth connections.
