Mirrors: Description and Operation

The Power Mirrors are operated by an instrument panel-mounted switch that has two controls. On control directs power to either the Left or Right Power Mirror. The other control directs power to the UP/DN or Left/Right Motor in the appropriate Power Mirror.

With the Ignition Switch in ACC or RUN, voltage is present at the Power Mirror Switch.

With the Power Mirror Switch Left/Right Select Switch in the RIGHT position and the Directional Control Switch held in the UP position, current flows through the RADIO Fuse, a set of Power Mirrors Switch Up/Down Switch Up contacts, circuits 605 (BR), The Right Power Mirror UP/DN Motor, circuit 601 (LG/BK), the Power Mirror Switch Left/Right Switch Right contacts and a second set of Power Mirror Switch Up/Down Switch Up contacts to ground. The Right Power Mirror UP/DN Motor runs and the mirror face pivots upward. When the Directional Control Switch is released, both sets of Up contacts open and the UP/DN Motor stops running. Moving the Directional Control Switch to the DOWN position causes current to follow the same path, but in the opposite direction. The UP/DN Motor then runs in the opposite direction and the mirror face pivots downward.

Left/Right operation of the Right Power Mirror and operation of the Left Power Mirror is similar to that described above.
