Power Mirror

The power mirrors are adjusted from the interior of the vehicle by moving the outside power mirror switch in the desired direction.

Each outside power mirror has two reversible motors. One adjusts the mirror view up and down, the other adjusts the mirror view right and left. The driver operates the power mirror switch in the UP-DOWN and LEFT-RIGHT directions to control the polarity of the voltage motors. The mirror select switch directs these control voltages to either the RH or LH outside power mirror.

With the mirror select switch in the LH position and the power mirror switch held in the UP position, battery voltage is applied through the up contacts of the power mirror switch to the up-down motor in the LH outside power mirror. The LH outside power mirror up-down motor has a path to ground through the mirror select switch and the up contact of the mirror control switch to ground. The LH outside power mirror up-down motor runs and turns the mirror up.

When the power mirror switch is pushed to the DOWN position, the LH outside power mirror up-down motor receives voltage; however, voltage polarity is reversed. The motor runs in the opposite direction.

The LH outside power mirror left-right motor operates similarly. When the power mirror switch is moved to the LEFT position, battery voltage is applied through the left contacts of the mirror select switch and the left contacts of the power mirror switch to battery to the left-right motor in the LH outside power mirror. The LH outside power mirror left-right motor is grounded through the left-right contact of the power mirror switch. The LH outside power mirror left-right motor runs and turns the mirror to the left.

If the power mirror switch is pushed to the RIGHT position, the same motor receives voltage; however, voltage polarity is reversed. The motor runs in the opposite direction.

The RH outside power mirror works the same way as the LH outside power mirror when the mirror select switch is moved to the RH position and the power mirror switch is operated.
