Power Mirror

SYSTEM OPERATION
The power mirrors are connected to an ignition switched battery feed so that the mirrors will only operate with the ignition switch in the On position. Each 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 option also include an electric heating grid located behind the mirror glass. This heating grid is energized by the rear window defogger relay whenever the rear window defogger system is turned on. Refer to Electrically Heated Systems for more information on the operation of the Windows and Glass/Heated Glass Element/rear window defogger system.

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