Power Sideview Mirror

Sideview Mirror Test
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

1. Check the fuses in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and the junction block.
If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the faulty fuse(s).

2. Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the PDC as required.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the driver side door trim panel and unplug the wire harness connector from the power mirror switch. Connect the battery negative cable. Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity in the door wire harness half of the power mirror switch wire harness connector.
If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the open circuit to the junction block as required.

4. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity in the door wire harness half of the power mirror switch wire harness connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If OK, go to Step 5.
If not OK, repair the circuit to ground as required.

5. Check the power mirror switch continuity as shown in.
If OK, go to Step 6.
If not OK, replace the faulty switch.

6. Unplug the wire harness connector at the inoperative power mirror. Use two jumper wires, one connected to a 12-volt battery feed, and the other connected to a good body ground. See the Power Mirror Test chart for the correct jumper wire connections to the power mirror half of the power mirror wire harness connector. If the power mirror(s) do not respond as indicated in the chart, replace the faulty power mirror assembly
If the power mirror(s) do respond as indicated in the chart, repair the circuits between the power mirror and the power mirror switch for a short or open as required.
