If voltage is 0.75-1.5 volts, go to step 6 .
- Measure voltage between ground and left outside rearview mirror 8-pin harness connector terminal "F" (Gray wire). If voltage is not 0.75-1.5 volts, go to step 7 . If voltage is 0.75-1.5 volts, go to step 8 .

Turn on inside rearview mirror automatic day/night feature. Cover sensor on inside rearview mirror back (facing front window). Shine a bright light into sensor on inside rearview mirror face (facing rear window). Measure voltage (backprobe) between left outside rearview mirror 8-pin harness connector terminals "E" (Black wire) and "F" (Gray wire). If voltage is 0.75-1.5 volts, go to step 9 . If voltage is not 0.75-1.5 volts, go to step 10 .
- Test Gray wire between left outside rearview mirror and inside rearview mirror for an open or high resistance. See appropriate wiring diagram in ILLUMINATION/INTERIOR LIGHTS article. If an open or high resistance is not found, go to step 11 . If an open or high resistance is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 15 .
- Test Black wire between left outside rearview mirror and ground point for an open or high resistance. Ground point is located inside left door sill, forward of front seat. If an open or high resistance is not found, go to step 11 . If an open or high resistance is found, repair as necessary. After repair go to step 15 .
- Check for poor connections at left outside rearview mirror connectors. If poor connections are not found, go to step 11 . If poor connections are found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 15 .
- Check for poor connections at left outside rearview mirror connectors. If poor connections are not found, go to step 12 . If poor connections are found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 15 .
- Check for poor connections at inside rearview mirror. If poor connections are not found, go to step 13 . If poor connections are found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 15 .
- Replace left outside rearview mirror face/glass. See LEFT OUTSIDE MIRROR FACE/GLASS under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repair, go to step 15 .
- Replace left outside rearview mirror. See LEFT OUTSIDE MIRROR ASSEMBLY under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repair, go to step 15 .
- Replace inside rearview mirror. See INSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repair, go to next step.
- Operate system to verify repair. If system does not operate properly, go to step 2 . If system operates properly, system is okay.
