Power Mirror

INTRODUCTION
Power operated or power operated and heated outside rear view mirrors are available factory-installed options on this model.

Power Mirror System
The power operated or power operated and heated outside rear view mirrors allow the driver to adjust both outside mirrors electrically from the driver side front seat position by operating a switch on the driver side front door trim panel. The power mirrors receive a non-switched battery feed through a fuse in the junction block so that the system will remain operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.

The heated mirror option includes an electric heating grid behind the mirror glass in each outside mirror, which can clear the mirror glass of ice, snow, or fog. The heating grid receives fused battery current through the heated mirror relay in the heater and air conditioner control only when the ignition switch is in the On position, and the heated mirror system is turned on. Refer to Heated Mirror System in Electrically Heated Systems for more information.

Following are general descriptions of the major components in the power mirror system. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the power mirror system.

SYSTEM OPERATION
Power Mirror
Each power mirror head contains two electric motors, two drive mechanisms, and the mirror glass. One motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down movement, and the other controls right-and-left movement.

The power mirrors in vehicles equipped with the available heated mirror system option also include an electric heating grid located behind the mirror glass. This heating grid is energized by the heated mirror relay in the heater and air conditioner control only when the ignition switch is in the On position, and the heated mirror system is turned on. Refer to Heated Mirror System in Electrically Heated Systems for more information.

The power mirror assembly cannot be repaired. If any component of the power mirror unit is faulty or damaged, the entire assembly must be replaced.

Power Mirror Switch
Both the right and left power outside mirrors are controlled by a single multi-function switch unit located on and mounted to the upper flag area of the driver side door trim panel. The switch knob is rotated clockwise (right mirror control), or counterclockwise (left mirror control) to select the mirror to be adjusted. The switch knob is then moved in a joystick fashion to control movement of the selected mirror up, down, right, or left.

The power mirror switch cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The power switch knob is available for service replacement.
