Electric Folding Outside Mirror Makes Noise While Extending or Retracting

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles where mirrors are noisy during extending or retracting, at cold temperatures (<59 degrees F), the electric folding outside mirror (code 500) may make a creaking noise during the folding sequence. Perform the following procedure to resolve.

1. Remove outside mirror trim. Refer to WIS document AR88.70-P-9040 (V 171), (CW 204), (T & TM 211), (TX 219) or (RA 230)

2. Determine mirror production date (Figure 1 - 204 on harness tag and Figure 2 - other models on motor label).









3. Grease retaining washer in area of slots (Figure 3).






4. Drill hole (3 mm diameter) at a height of 3 cm (Figure 4).






5. Grease the sliding disk. It must be greased with the outside mirror in three positions (folded in, intermediate position and folded out - Figures 5 and 6).









6. Operate outside mirrors electrically several times (approx. 8 times).

7. Install outside mirror trim. Refer to WIS document AR88.70-P-9040 (V 171), (CW 204), (T & TM 211), (TX 219) or (RA 230).
