Power Mirror Operation

The two 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 motor moves the mirror left and right.

The door mirror switch has four switches to control mirror direction, and two switches to select the left or right mirror The door 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. With the ignition in ACC or ON, battery voltage is supplied to the mirror control switch through fuse C-11.

Mirror Up Operation
With the mirror control switch in the up position, switch 4 is moved to the B position. Switches 3 and 4 apply battery voltage to the left or right power mirror up/down motor as determined by the master selector switch. The selected mirror motor is grounded through the master selector switch and switch 1 in the A position to B-26.

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 master selector switch. The selected mirror motor is grounded through switch 4 in the A position to B-26.

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 master selector switch. The selected mirror motor is grounded through switch 1 in the A position to B-26.

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 master selector switch to the left or right left/right motor. The motor is grounded through the master selector switch and switch 2 in the A position to B-26.

Fold and Return Movement
With the starter switch in ACC or ON, voltage is applied through fuse C-11 to the mirror folding switch. When the folding switch is pressed, 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 B-26. The left and right door mirrors move towards the fold position. When the mirrors reach the fold position, the fold switches (in the door mirrors) open, removing voltage from the folding motors and they stop. When the folding switch is pressed again, voltage is applied through the folding switch to the opposite side of the folding motors. Ground is provided from B-26 through the folding switch and the return switches (in the door mirrors) to the folding motors. The left and right door mirrors move towards the return p0sition. When the mirrors reach the return position, the return switches (in the door mirrors) open and remove ground from the motors and they stop.
