Mirrors: Description and Operation

The outside mirrors are controlled by the power mirror switch. Each mirror has two reversible motors: one motor moves the mirror up and down and the other moves it left and right. Battery voltage is supplied to the mirror switch when the ignition switch is in ACC or ON.

The power mirror switch contains four switches to control mirror direction, and two switches to select the left or right mirror. The mirror selector switch directs voltage from the direction switches to either the left or the right mirror. Each direction switch is used for more than one function.

Mirror Up Operation
With the mirror switch in the "up" position, switch 4 is moved to the Bposition. Switches 3 and 4 apply battery voltage to the left or right power mirror up/down motor as determined by the mirror selector switch. The selected mirror motor is grounded through the master selector switch and switch 1 in the A position to G404.

Mirror Down Operation
With the mirror control switch in the "down" position, switches 1, 2 and 3 are moved to the B position. Switch 1 applies battery voltage to the left or right power mirror up/down motor as determined by the mirror selector switch. The selected mirror motor is grounded through switch 4 in the Aposition to G404.

Mirror Left Operation
With the mirror control switch in the LEFT position, switch 2 is moved to the B position. Switches 2 and 3 apply battery voltage to the left or right power mirror left/right motor as determined by the mirror selector switch. The selected mirror motor is grounded through switch 1 in the A position to G404.

Mirror Right Operation
With the mirror control switch in the RIGHT position, switches 1, 3, and 4 are moved to the B position. Switch 1 applies battery voltage through the mirror selector switch to the left or right left/right motor. The motor is grounded through the mirror selector switch and switch 2 in the A position to G404.

Fold and Return Movement
With the ignition switch in ACC or ON, voltage is applied through fuse C-11 to the mirror folding switch. When you press the folding switch, voltage is applied through fold switches (in the door mirrors) to the folding motors. Ground is provided for the motors through the folding switch to G404. The left and right door mirrors then move toward the fold position. When the mirrors are fully folded, the fold switches (in the door mirrors) open, removing voltage from the folding motors, and the motors stop. When you press the folding switch again, voltage is applied through the folding switch to the opposite side of the folding motors. Ground is provided from G404 through the folding switch and the return switches (in the door mirrors) to the folding motors. The left and right mirrors then move toward the return position. When the mirrors are fully unfolded, the return switches (in the door mirrors) open and remove ground from the motors, and the motors stop.
