INTRODUCTION
Electrically operated power mirrors are available
on all car lines. The mirrors are controlled by a sin-
gle switch assembly located on the driver's door trim
panel. The push button rocker switch uses L (left)
and R (right) for mirror selection and a button to
push for the desired direction of mirror movement
(Fig. 1).
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be replaced sepa-
rately.
All vehicles are equipped with a Ignition-Off Draw
Fuse, and they are disconnected when the vehicles
are originally shipped from the factory. Disconnecting
this fuse will help prevent the battery from discharge
during storage. The fuse is located in Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC) refer to the cover for proper
location.
This fuse is included in the power mirror circuity
and should be checked if the mirrors are inoperative.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

INTRODUCTION
Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles may be equipped
with Power Fold Away Mirrors. The mirror is con-
trolled the same way as the Left Hand Drive (LHD)
vehicle. The RHD vehicle has an additional switch in
the switch pod that controls the folding function of
the mirror assembly (Fig. 1).
All vehicles are equipped with a Ignition-Off Draw
Fuse, and they are disconnected when the vehicles
are originally shipped from the factory. Disconnecting
this fuse will help prevent the battery from discharge
during storage. The fuse is located in Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC) refer to the cover for proper
location.
This fuse is included in the power mirror circuity
and should be checked if the mirrors are inoperative.
The RHD vehicle mirror circuitry is powered from
the accessory feed circuit and protected by a 15 amp
circuit breaker and power mirror relay. The relay
provides for the switching of the mirror. The circuit
breaker and mirror relay are located in the inner
door panel wire harness.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
MIRROR SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove power mirror switch from mounting
position.
(2) Disconnect wiring harness at switch connector.
(3) Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity between
the terminals of the switch as shown in the RHD

INTRODUCTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN
AIRBAG, REFER TO THE AIRBAG PORTION OF
THIS SECTION FOR STEERING WHEEL OR SWITCH
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
The seat belt reminder system uses both visual
and audible signals. A combined seat belt and key
reminder chime with a red light on the instrument
panel.
The system will always illuminate the seat belt
reminder lamp for four to eight seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The
CHIME will sound during the same time interval if
the driver's seat belt is not fastened. Passenger belts
are not connected to the system. The chime will acti-
vate if the drivers door is opened and:
²The key is in the ignition switch, with the igni-
tion switch in either the OFF or accessory (ACC)
position
²The head lamps are ON.
The chime is part of the instrument cluster.
NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive
(LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this
model. Whenever required and feasible, the RHD
versions of affected vehicle components have been
constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.
While most of the illustrations used in this group
represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic and
service procedures outlined can generally be
applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule
have been clearly identified as LHD, RHD, or Export
if a special illustration or procedure is required.
