Power Foldaway Mirror Test

The following test is intended to test the fold-away mirror circuits up to the power fold-away mirror.

NOTE: Battery must be fully charged prior to performing this test.

1. Remove the appropriate door trim panel retaining fasteners.
2. Remove power mirror electrical connector push pin from inner door panel.

Power Mirror Electrical Connector From Door Harness:




3. Disconnect mirror electrical connector and position as shown.
4. Depress the mirror "fold"switch and using a voltmeter check pin # 7 for 12v. If battery voltage is not present check wiring and or fuse for open. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for a complete schematic of the mirror fold-away system.
5. Depress the mirror "unfold"switch and using a voltmeter check pin # 4 for 12v. If battery voltage is not present check wiring and or fuse for open. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for a complete schematic of the mirror fold-away system.
6. Check for ground at pin # 3. If ground is not present, check wiring for open. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for a complete schematic of the mirror fold-away system.
7. If the test above concluded that 12v is present at pin # 7 and pin # 4, and a good ground is present, the system up to the mirror is functioning properly. If after reconnecting the power folding mirror to the door wiring harness the mirrors do not fold/unfold, replace the side view mirror assembly.
