Power Mirrors, Auto Dimming Mirror, Power Seat Position Memory, and
Windshield Washer Do Not Work

(Supersedes 05-033, dated September 16, 2005, to update the information indicated by an asterisk)

SYMPTOM

The power mirrors, the inside auto dimming mirror, the power seat position memory, and the windshield washer do not work.

PROBABLE CAUSE

If plain water or an improper windshield washer fluid mixture is used in the windshield washer reservoir, it can freeze in cold weather. This can cause the windshield washer motor to temporarily overload and blow fuse No. 20 in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the No. 20 fuse with a 10A fuse, and apply an updated fuse box lid label.
