GENERAL INFORMATION
Electrically operated power mirrors are available
on all car lines. The mirrors are controlled by a sin-
gle switch assembly located either on the driver's
door trim panel or on the center console. There are three types of switches currently used,
each use s a L (left) R (right) for mirror selection (Fig.
1). Type I, which uses a rocker for mirror selection
and four buttons for mirror movement direction.
Type II, uses a toggle switch which is rotated clock-
wise for the Right mirror or counterclockwise for the
Left mirror selection, and moved UP, DOWN, LEFT,
or RIGHT for mirror movement direction. Type III, uses a paddle knob which is moved Left or Right for
mirror selection and four buttons for mirror move-
ment direction.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be replaced sepa-
rately. All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw Connector which is used when the vehicles are
originally shipped from the factory. This connector,
which is located near the battery, helps to prevent
battery discharge during storage. For specific connec-
tor type and location, refer Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams.

When a fusible link blows it is important to find
out what the problem is. They are placed in the sys-
tem for protection against shorts. Which can be
caused by a component failure or wiring failures. Do
not just replace the fusible link to correct the
problem. When diagnosing a faulty fusible link it is impor-
tant to check the wire carefully. In some instances
the link may be blown and it will not show through
the insulation, the wire should be checked over its
entire length for internal breaks. (1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Cut out the blown portion of the fusible link.
(3) Strip 1 inch of insulation from each end of the
existing fusible link. (4) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one
side of the fusible link. Make sure the tubing will be
long enough to cover and seal the entire repair area. (5) Cut a replacement piece of fusible link approx-
imately two inches longer than the piece removed. (6) Remove one inch of insulation from each end of
the replacement fusible link. (7) Spread the strands of wire apart on each of the
exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1). (8) Push the two ends of the wire together until
the strands of wire are close to the insulation (Fig.
11 example 2). (9) Twist the wires together (Fig. 11 example 3).
(10) Solder the wires together using rosin core type
solder only. Do not use acid core type solder.
(11) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing. (12) Secure the fusible link to the existing ones to
prevent chafing or damage to the insulation. (13) Connect battery and test all affected systems.
WIRING REPAIR
When replacing or repairing a wire, it is important
that the correct gauge be used as shown in the wir-
ing diagrams. The wires must also be held securely
in place to prevent damage to the insulation. (1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Remove 1 inch of insulation from each end the
wire. (3) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one
side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long
enough to cover and seal the entire repair area. (4) Spread the strands of the wire apart on each
part of the exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1). (5) Push the two ends of wire together until the
strands of wire are close to the insulation (Fig. 11 ex-
ample 2). (6) Twist the wires together (Fig. 11 example 3).
(7) Solder the connection together using rosin core
type solder only. Do not use acid core solder. (8) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing. (9) Secure the wire to the existing ones to prevent
chafing or damage to the insulation. (10) Connect battery and test all affected systems.
CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect battery.
(2) Disconnect the connector that is to be repaired
from its mating half. (3) Remove connector locking wedge (Fig. 12).
(4) Position the connector locking finger away from
the terminal. Pull on the wire to remove the termi-
nal from the connector (Fig. 13).

(5) Reset the terminal locking tang, if it has one.
(6) Insert the removed wire in the same cavity on
the repair connector. (7) Repeat steps four thru six for each wire in the
connector. Check that all wires are inserted into the
proper cavities. For connector pin out identification
refer to the wiring diagrams. (8) Insert the connector locking wedge into the re-
paired connector. (9) Connect connector to its mating half.
(10) Connect battery and test all affected systems.
CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect Battery.
(2) Disconnect the connector being repaired form
its mating half. (3) Cut off the existing wire connector directly be-
hind the insulator. Remove six inches of tape from
the harness. (4) Stagger cut all wires on the harness side about
1/2 inch apart (Fig. 14). (5) Remove 1 inch of insulation from each wire on
the harness side. (6) Stagger cut the matching wires on the repair
connector assembly in the opposite order as was done
on the harness side of the repair. Allow extra length
for soldered connections. Check that the overall
length is the same as the original (Fig. 14). (7) Remove 1 inch of insulation from each wire.
(8) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one
side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long
enough to cover and seal the entire repair area. (9) Spread the strands of the wire apart on each
part of the exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1). (10) Push the two ends of wire together until the
strands of wire are close to the insulation (Fig. 11 ex-
ample 2). (11) Twist the wires together (Fig. 11 example 3). (12) Solder the connection together using rosin
core type solder only. Do not use acid core solder.
(13) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing. (14) Repeat steps 8 thru 13 for each wire.
(15) Re-tape the wire harness starting 1-1/2 inches
behind the connector and 2 inches past the repair. (16) Reconnect the repaired connector.
(17) Connect battery and test all affected systems.
TERMINAL REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect battery.
(2) Disconnect the connector being repaired form
its mating half. (3) Remove connector locking wedge (Fig. 12).
(4) Position the connector locking finger away from
the terminal. Pull on the wire to remove the termi-
nal from the connector (Fig. 13). (5) Cut the wire 6 inches from the back of the con-
nector. (6) Remove 1 inch of insulation from the wire on
the harness side. (7) Select a wire from the terminal repair assem-
bly that best matches the color wire being repaired. (8) Cut the repair wire to the proper length and re-
move 1 inch of insulation. (9) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one
side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long
enough to cover and seal the entire repair area. (10) Spread the strands of the wire apart on each
part of the exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1). (11) Push the two ends of wire together until the
strands of wire are close to the insulation (Fig. 11 ex-
ample 2). (12) Twist the wires together (Fig. 11 example 3).
(13) Solder the connection together using rosin
core type solder only. Do not use acid core solder.

(14) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing. (15) Insert the repaired wire into the connector.
(16) Install the connector locking wedge and recon-
nect the connector to its mating half. (17) Re-tape the wire harness starting 1-1/2 inches
behind the connector and 2 inches past the repair. (18) Connect battery and test all affected systems.
SYMBOLS, FUSES AND RELAYS
Various symbols are used throughout the wiring
diagrams. These symbols can be identified by refer-
ring to the symbol identification chart (Fig. 15). For fuse block, relay bank, or power distribution
center information refer to the fuse charts and relay
bank section.
CAUTION: When replacing a blown fuse it is impor-
tant to replace it with a fuse having the correct am-
perage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other
than indicated may result in an electrical overload.
If a proper rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates
a problem that should be corrected.
