The left or right side door mirror actuator (power or manual) doesn't work and needs to be replaced for any reason.

NOTE:
In manual door mirrors, the "Actuator Assemble" allows the mirror to pivot for manual adjustment.

IMPORTANT:
The purpose of "ACTIONS" (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire Service Procedure as it contains information that is essential to successfully completeing this repair.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Remove the mirror:

A. Angle the mirror all the way UP.





B. Then pull the mirror at the bottom corners as shown in Figure 1.

^ This will unsnap the mirror from the actuator.





NOTE:
If it is a heated mirror, disconnect the 2 electrical terminals from the mirror.





2. Remove 3 screws and remove the actuator.





3. Disconnect the 2 actuator connectors. (Power mirror only)

^ Connectors are gray and black and are labeled on the actuator.

4. Install the new actuator in the reverse order of removal.

5. Install the mirror





A. At the top of the mirror, insert the holder slides (hooks) into the grooved cutouts in the actuator.

NOTE:
If it is a heated mirror, make sure to connect the 2 electric terminals to glass.

B. Then fold the glass DOWN against the actuator.





6. Press (snap) the sections of mirror in place in the order (1, 2, 3, 4) shown in Figure 6.

^ A "snap" can be heard when pressing each section to verify it has been fitted correctly.





7. Use a plastic trim tool to gently lift the lower corners of the mirror to confirm that it is securely snapped into place.

^ If the mirror unsnaps when you're doing this check, go back to step 6, above.

NOTE:
Plastic "Trim Tool Set" J46534 (an "essential tool") is available from TECH-MATE.
