Diagnosis And Testing - Power Outside Rear View Mirror

The following tests will confirm whether the power mirror horizontal and vertical motors and articulation mechanisms are functional in either a driver or passenger outside rear view mirror. If the mirror motors and mechanisms pass the following tests, but a mirror fails to operate using the power mirror switch integral to the power lock and power window switch pod on the driver side front door, be certain to test the switch and the wiring between the switch and the mirror before considering component replacement.

Refer to SWITCH, LOCK, DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING and refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the trim panel from the inside of the door to which the ineffective power mirror is secured. Refer to PANEL, DOOR TRIM, REMOVAL .
3. Disconnect the door wire harness connector from the connector for the mirror to be tested.
4. Connect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), connect the IBS connector to the negative battery cable.
5. Connect a fused jumper wire to a good body ground.
6. Connect a second jumper wire to a source of fused 12-volt battery current.
7. See the Power Mirror Motor Test table below for the correct jumper wire connections to the power mirror wire harness connector.
