WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the outside rearview mirror.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 7 and ground.
  4. Ignition ON, command the rear window defogger ON and OFF with the rear defogger switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the B+ circuit for a short to voltage.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the outside rearview mirror glass.
