How To Use This Manual
Circuit Schematics
oa
Each schematic represents one circult. A
circuit's wires and components are arranged
to show current flow, from power at the top of
the page, to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground
terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A
wire that connects one circuit to another, for
example, is cut short and has an arrowhead
at the end of it pointing in the direction of
current flow. Nelit to the anowhead is the
name o{ the circuil or comoonent which
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared
wiring, check the operation of a component it
serves. lf that component works, you know
the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and fuse box connectors are
numbered (C725, C416, etc.).
Component connectors are not numbered
but are identiJied by the name of the
component. lf a componenl has more than
one connector, each connector is assigned
a letter (A, B, C, etc.). Below most connector
numbers and comDonent names are
PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The PHOTO
number refers to a Dhoto in the back of the
book that shows lhe conneclor's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an
illustration in the back of the book that
shows the connector face, wire colors,
connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence
begins at the top left corner oJ the connector
as seen from either of the viewooints shown
on page ffl . Disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housino.
Wires
Wires are identilied by the abbreviated
names of their colors; the second color rs the
color of the stripe. Wires are also identified by
their location in a connector. The number '2"
next to the male and female wire terminals at
C416, for example, means those terminals
join in cavity 2 of connector C416.

How the Circuit Works
The two outside mirrors are controlled by the power
mirror switch. Each mirror has two reversible
motors: one motor moves lhe mirror uo and down
and the other motor moves the mirror left and right.
The power mirror switch contains four switches to
control mirror adjustment, and a switch lo select
the left or right mirror. With the ignition ON (ll),
battery voltage is supplied to the power mirror
switch. The mirror selector switch directs voltage
Irom the direction switches to either the left or rioht
mtrror.
Mirror Up
When you press the "up" edge of the mirror
adjustment button, voltage is supplied from one of
the UP switch contacts to both mirrors. With the
mirror select switch in the LEFT or RIGHT Dosition.
ground is provjded for the corresponding up/down
motor through the opposite UP switch contact.
Battery voltage is supplied to the mirror up/down
motor which then tilts the selected mirror uo.
Mirror Down
When you press the "down" edge of the mirror
adjustment button, ground is provided through one
of the DOWN switch contacts to both mirrors.
With the mirror select switch in the LEFT or RIGHT
position, voltage is supplied to the corresponding
up/down motor through the opposite DOWN switch
contact. Battery voltage is supplied to the mirror
up/down motor which then tilts the selected
mtrror down.
Mirror Left
When the mirror select switch is in the LEFT or
RIGHT position, and you press the "lett" edge of the
mirror adjustment button, voltage is supplied to both
corresponding mirror motors through one of the
LEFT switch contacts. Ground is provided for the
corresponding lefvright motor through the opposite
LEFT switch contact, 8attery voltage is supplied to
the mirror left /right motor which then tilts the
selected mirror left.
I,J
141-3
Mirror Right
When the mirror select switch is in the LEFT or
RIGHT position, and you press the '?ight" edge of
the mirror adjustment button, ground is provided to
both corresponding mirror motors through one of
the RIGHT switch contacts. Voltage is supplied to
the corresponding leruright motor through the
opposite RIGHT switch contact. Battery voltage is
supplied to the mirror left /right motor which then
tilts the selected mirror right.
Mirror Detoggers
With the ignition switch in ON (ll), battery voltage is
supplied to the mirror defogger switch. When you
press the mirror defogger switch ON, voltage is
supplied to both mirror defoggers, causing them to
heat up and remove any fog from the mirrors. The
opposite side of each defogger grid is connected to
g rou no.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23,
Body Electrical) for specific tests and
troubleshooting procedures.
