Mirrors: Description and Operation

Each outside Mirror has two reversible motors. One adjusts the mirror view up and down and the other adjusts the mirror view right and left. The driver operates the Power Mirror Switch, a joystick type switch, that controls the polarity of the voltage to the motors. This switch also directs the voltage to either the RH or LH Outside Mirror.

With the switches in the positions shown in the schematic, the LH Outside Mirror is selected. When the Power Mirror Switch is moved to the "UP" position, battery voltage from CKT 40 is applied through the Outside Rearview Mirror Remote Control Switch and CKT 88 to the Up/Down Motor in the LH Outside Mirror. The LH Outside Mirror Up/Down Motor has a path to ground through CKT 82, the Outside Rearview Mirror Remote Control Switch and CKT 150 to G200. When the LH Motor runs, it causes the mirror to tilt up.

If the Power Mirror Switch is moved to the "DOWN" position, the same motor receives voltage through CKT 82, while CKT 88 is grounded. The motor then runs in the opposite direction, causing the mirror to tilt down.

The LH Left/Right Motor operates in a similar manner with the Power Mirror Switch in the "LEFT" position.
