Door Mirrors

DOOR MIRRORS

DESCRIPTION

General
The electrically operated door mirrors are controlled via the multi-directional switch mounted on the fascia adjacent the instrument pack. Rotating the switch to the left, allows movement of the LH door mirror. A movement in the switch position will now be replicated by the LH door mirror. Rotating the switch to the right allows movement of the RH door mirror in the same way. The central switch position inhibits operation of both door mirrors.

Both mirrors also feature a heating element. The heating elements operate automatically when the ignition switch is in the 'ignition' position, and are not controllable by the driver.

OPERATION

General
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fusible link 3 and fusible link 4 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0632) on an R wire. Fusible link 4 (C0574) provides a constant battery feed to the window lift relay (C0587) and the CCU (C0592) on an NW wire. The window lift relay is controlled by the CCU, which is mounted directly onto the rear of the passenger compartment fuse box. When energised, the window lift relay provides a feed to fuse 17, which is also located in the passenger compartment fuse box.

Fusible link 3 (C0571) is connected to the ignition switch (C0028) by an N wire. When the ignition switch is turned to the 'ignition' position, current flows across the switch (C0028) to fuse 1 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on an NW wire.

LH Door Mirror
Fuse 17 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0589) provides a feed to the door mirror switch (C0066) on a G wire. When the door mirror switch is turned to the LH mirror position, it provides feeds and earth paths to the vertical and horizontal motors as follows:

Up
When the door mirror switch is moved upwards, it provides a feed to the LH vertical motor (C0319) on a BY then BP wire. Current flows across the motor (C0319) and back to the switch (C0066) on an SW wire. The switch (C0066) provides the motor an earth path on a B wire. The motor will move the mirror upwards until the switch is released, or it reaches the end of its travel.
