GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
These vehicles may be equipped with Power Fold
Away Mirrors. The 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 vehicle mirror circuitry is powered from the
accessory feed circuit and protected by a 15 amp cir-
cuit breaker and power mirror relay. The relay pro-
vides for the switching of the mirror. The circuit
breaker and mirror relay are located in the inner
door panel wire harness.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER FOLD AWAY MIRROR SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove power mirror switch from the door
trim panel. Refer to the switch removal and installa-
tion procedure in this group.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity between
the terminals of the switch as shown in the Power
Fold Away Mirror Switch Test (Fig. 2).
(3) If test results are not obtained as shown in
(Fig. 2), replace the switch.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for a com-
plete schematic of the power mirror circuitry.
POWER FOLD AWAY MIRROR MOTOR
The power fold away mirror motor is incorporated
into the mirror assembly. If the motor proves to be
inoperative the entire mirror assembly must be
replaced. Refer to the mirror removal and installa-
tion procedure in this group for detailed instructions.
(1) Remove the power mirror switch from the door
trim panel. Refer to the removal and installation pro-
cedure in this group.
(2) Disconnect the mirror switch electrical connec-
tor.
(3) Using two jumper wires, one connected to a 12
volt source, and the other connected to a good body
ground. Refer to the Mirror Switch Circuits (Fig. 3)
and check for the appropriate mirror responses.
(4) If test results are not obtained as shown in
(Fig. 3), check for a open or shorted circuit, or replace
mirror / motor assembly as necessary.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for a com-
plete wiring schematic of the power mirror circuitry.
