Power Folding Mirrors

POWER FOLDING MIRRORS
The power folding mirrors are powered to two positions: folded and unfolded. The driver may choose fold or unfold with a switch that is located on the right side of the steering column. The folding mirror switch grounds a sense wire that comes from the Body Control Module when it is placed in the fold position. The mirrors will move to the position designated by the switch whether the ignition switch is the On or Off position and both front doors are closed. When the Power Folding Mirror switch is left in the fold position during a vehicle exit the mirrors will automatically unfold then refold after both front doors are closed. This is to prevent mirror contact with either front door when opened. When opening either front door, the Body Control Module will unfold the mirrors in the following manner depending on which front door is opened. If the driver door is opened, only the driver side mirror will unfold. If the passenger door is opened, both mirrors will unfold. The passenger mirror is prevented from unfolding when the driver's door is opened by the Passenger Folding Mirror Relay, which opens the driver circuit to the passenger side mirror.
