GENERAL INFORMATION
Electrically operated power mirrors are available
on all car lines. The mirrors are controlled by a sin-
gle switch assembly located either on the driver's
door trim panel or on the center console. There are three types of switches currently used,
each use s a L (left) R (right) for mirror selection (Fig.
1). Type I, which uses a rocker for mirror selection
and four buttons for mirror movement direction.
Type II, uses a toggle switch which is rotated clock-
wise for the Right mirror or counterclockwise for the
Left mirror selection, and moved UP, DOWN, LEFT,
or RIGHT for mirror movement direction. Type III, uses a paddle knob which is moved Left or Right for
mirror selection and four buttons for mirror move-
ment direction.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be replaced sepa-
rately. All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw Connector which is used when the vehicles are
originally shipped from the factory. This connector,
which is located near the battery, helps to prevent
battery discharge during storage. For specific connec-
tor type and location, refer Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams.

This connector is included in the power mirror cir-
cuity except, for AC and AY body and should be
checked if the mirrors are inoperative.
MIRROR MOTOR TEST PROCEDURE
(1) Remove power mirror switch from mounting
position. (2) Disconnect switch wiring harness at connector.
In the case of memory mirrors, (green 8-way mirror
connector and memory switch in drivers door panel),
the switch wiring disconnects from the cowl top har-
ness rather than the mirror harness. (3) Using two jumper wires, one connected to a 12
volt source, and the other connected to a good body
ground. Refer to the Mirror Test (Fig. 2 through 5)
for appropriate switch style, and for pin numbers.
(4) If results shown in the Fig. 2 through 5 are not
obtained, check for broken or shorted circuit, or re-
place mirror assembly as necessary.
MIRROR SWITCH TEST PROCEDURE
(1) Remove power mirror switch from mounting
position. (2) Disconnect wiring harness at switch connector.
(3) Using a ohmmeter, test for continuity between
the terminals of the switch as shown in the Mirror
Switch Continuity for appropriate switch style (Fig. 6
through 8). (4) If results shown in the Fig. 5, 6 and 7 are not
obtained, replace the switch.
HEATED MIRROR
Heated mirrors are available on all car lines except
AP Body, with Power Mirrors and Rear Window De-
fogger only. The heated mirror is controlled by the rear window defogger switch. Only time that the
heated mirror is on is when the rear window defog-
ger is on.
TEST PROCEDURES
The mirror should be warm to the touch. (a) If not check fuses.
(b) Test voltage at rear window defogger switch.
² If no voltage repair wire.
² Apply voltage to one wire and ground the other,
refer to Fig. 2 through 5 for pin numbers. Mirror
should become warm to the touch.

AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT INSIDE MIRROR
Operational test:
² Turn ignition switch to the ON position with the
vehicle in park (Fig. 21).
² Place mirror switch in the high position.
² Cover the forward facing sensor with dark cloth to
keep out any ambient light.
² Shine a light into the rear facing sensor, watch to
see if the mirror darkens. With the mirror darkened, place the vehicle in re-
verse, the mirror should return to its normal condi-
tion. If the above conditions are met the mirror is oper-
ating properly.
² If not test voltage.
Test three way connector harness. Refer to Fig. 21. (1) Pin 1 Ignition Switch in run position, should
have battery voltage. (2) Pin 2 Should have continuity to Ground.
(3) Pin 3 When the transmission is in reverse,
should have battery voltage. (4) If test is OK replace Mirror.
(5) If not refer, to Wiring Diagrams manual to test
the circuits.
AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT INSIDE MIRROR WITH
ULTRALIGHT HEADLAMP CONTROL
CAUTION:When JUMP STARTING the vehicle, be-
fore cranking engine turn ignition ON and turn OFF
the Automatic Headlamp Control.
The mirror automatically reduces the amount of
headlamp glare from rear approaching traffic and
provides automatic headlamp control (Fig. 22).
SELF DIAGNOSTIC MODEÐOPERATIONAL TEST:
(1) Place shift selector in park (P) or Neutral (N)
position. With ignition OFF, press and hold AUTO
MIRROR and AUTO LAMP (headlamp) buttons, turn
ignition switch ON. When LED indicators start
flashing, release buttons. (a) The button LED indicators should flash for
about five seconds.
² AUTO MIRROR
² DARK
² AUTO LAMP
(b) If they continue to flash much longer than
five seconds, the mirror assembly is defective.

(2) The headlamps and parking lamps should turn
ON for about five seconds.
² AUTO MIRROR LED
² DARK LED
² AUTO LAMP LED
² The LED indicators blink for about 5 seconds.
² If the three indicators continue to blink consider-
ably longer than 5 seconds, then the mirror assembly
is defective. (3) The mirror should change to dim state.(a) Place shift selector in reverse (R), with igni-
tion switch ON:
² AUTO MIRROR LED indicator ON
² DARK LED indicator flashing
² Lasting about 15 seconds
(b) The mirror should slowly change to bright
state. (c) If the ignition is not turned OFF within the
15 second time period, the mirror will reset to its
previous setting.
The previous conditions are OK, the mirror is op-
erating properly. If not OK, continue with voltage tests below.
VOLTAGE TEST
To test for voltage insert voltmeter probe into wire
end of connector to contact terminal. Pin 1 ignition voltage (a) Ignition switch OFF, zero volts.
(b) Ignition switch ON, battery voltage.
Pin 2 battery voltage (a) Battery voltage at all times.
(b) No voltage, check 15 amp. fuse.
Pin 3 Ground (a) Continuity to ground.
(b) No voltage
Pin 4 Reverse over-ride (a) Ignition OFF, zero voltage.
(b) Ignition ON shift selector in Reverse (R), bat-
tery voltage. (c) Ignition ON shift selector in any position
other than Reverse (R), zero voltage.
Pin 5 Headlamp relay (a) Battery voltage at all times from headlamp
relay. (b) No battery voltage, test headlamp relay.
Pin 6 Park lamp relay (a) Ignition switch ON, battery voltage feed from
park lamp relay. (b) Ignition switch OFF, zero voltage.
(c) Ignition ON, No battery voltage test park
lamp relay.
If Voltage Test are OK, replace mirror assembly.
If not OK, refer to Wiring Diagrams manual.
