Outside Rear View Mirrors

Each mirror is controlled by a pair of permanent magnet motors:
^ Vertical Motor
^ Horizontal Motor

The vertical motor moves the mirror up and down, and the horizontal motor moves it left and right. The direction the motors turn depends on the supply voltage polarity sent to the motors. Each motor has an associated position sensor when the Memory Option is installed. These sensors are potentiometers which are linked to each motor. As the motor rotates, the potentiometer resistance is varied.
