General information. Description and operation
Introduction Power operated or power operated and heated outside
rear view mirrors are available factory-installed
options on this model. Refer to 8W-62 - Power Mirrors
in Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
descriptions and diagrams. Power mirror system The power operated or power operated and heated
outside rear view mirrors allow the driver to adjust
both outside mirrors electrically from the driver side
front seat position by operating a switch on the
driver side front door trim panel. The power mirrors
receive a non-switched battery feed through a fuse in
the junction block so that the system will remain
operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The heated mirror option includes an electric heating
grid behind the mirror glass in each outside mirror,
which can clear the mirror glass of ice, snow, or
fog. The heating grid receives fused battery current
through a relay integral to the rear window defogger
switch in the rearwindow switch pod only when the
ignition switch is in the On position, and the rear
window defogger system is turned on. Refer to Rear
Windoe Defogger System in Group 8N - Electrically
Heated Systems for more information.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power mirror system. Refer to the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
power mirror system. Each power mirror head contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, and the mirror glass.
One motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down
movement, and the other controls right-and-left
movement.
The power mirrors in vehicles equipped with the
available heated mirror system option also include an
electric heating grid located behind the mirror glass.
This heating grid is energized by the relay integral to
the rear window defogger switch in the rear window
switch pod only when the ignition switch is in the On
position, and the rear window defogger system is
turned on. Refer to Rear Window Defogger System in
Group 8N - Electrically Heated Systems for more
information.
The power mirror assembly cannot be repaired. If
any component of the power mirror unit is faulty or
damaged, the entire power mirror unit must be
replaced. Both the right and left power outside mirrors are
controlled by a single multi-function switch unit
located on and mounted to the upper flag area of the
driver side door trim panel. The switch knob is
rotated clockwise (right mirror control), or counterclockwise
(left mirror control) to select the mirror to
be adjusted. The switch knob is then moved in a joystick
fashion to control movement of the selected mirror
up, down, right, or left.
The power mirror switch cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The power
mirror switch knob is available for service replacement.General information
