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 red 29-pole connector 152B. Each rear-view mirror will turn in the direction in which the switch lever is moved. 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:

Right-Hand:

US and CA markets
Cars for these markets are equipped with electrically heated rear-view mirrors 207, which are supplied via the switch for the heating of the rear window.

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. By operating the switch, check that the supply to the corresponding motor and to the solenoid is live. 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.
