1. Remove the driver's door panel (see FRONT DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).  

2. Disconnect the 13P connector (A) from the power mirror switch (B).

3. Choose the appropriate test based on the symptom: 



Both mirrors don't work, go to step 4.  



Left mirror doesn't work, go to step 6.  



Right mirror doesn't work, go to step 7.  

Both mirrors  

4. Measure voltage between the No. 2 terminal and body ground with the ignition switch ON (II). There 

should be battery voltage. 



If there is no battery voltage, check for: 



Blown No. 14 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.  



An open in the BLK/YEL wire.  



If there is battery voltage, go to step 5.  

5. Check for continuity between the No. 6 terminal and body ground. 

There should be continuity. 



If there is no continuity, check for: 



An open in the BLK wire.  



Poor ground (G501).  



If there is continuity, check both mirrors individually as described in step 6 and step 7.

6. Connect the No. 2 terminal to the No. 10 terminal, and the No. 5 (then No. 12) terminal to No. 6 terminal 

with jumper wires. The left mirror should tilt down (then swing left) with the ignition switch ON (II). 



If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for an open in the GRN/WHT (or 
BLU/WHT) wire between the left mirror and the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the left 
mirror actuator (see POWER MIRROR ACTUATOR TEST ).  



If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the BLU/BLK wire.  



If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch (see POWER MIRROR ACTUATOR 
TEST ).  

Right mirror  

7. Connect the No. 2 terminal to the No. 11 terminal, and the No. 5 (then No. 13) terminal to No. 6 terminal 

with jumper wires. The right mirror should tilt down (then swing left) with the ignition switch ON (II). 



If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for an open in the GRN/WHT (or 
WHT/RED) wire between the right mirror and the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the right 
mirror actuator (see POWER MIRROR ACTUATOR TEST ).  



If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the RED/YEL wire.  



If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch (see POWER MIRROR ACTUATOR 
TEST ).  

POWER MIRROR SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT 

1. Remove the driver's door panel (see FRONT DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).  

2. Disconnect the 13P connector from the power mirror switch (A).
