2 .
1 . Carefully pry put the driver's switch panel (see
page 20-62).
Disconnectthe 13P connector (A) from the power
mirror switch (B).

BLK/VEL
3, Remove the two screws and the power mirror
switch.
4. Choose the appropriate test based on the
symprom:
. Both mirrors don't work, go to step 5.
. Left mirror doesn't work, go to step 7,
. Right mirror doesn't work, go to step 8.
. Defogger doesn't work (Canada), go to step g.
Both mirrors
5. Check for voltage between the No. 2 terminal and
body ground with the ignition switch ON (lt).
There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check for:
- b l o w n N o . 1 4 { 1 0 A ) f u s e i n t h e u n d e r - d a s h
fuse/relay box.
- an open in the BLKI/EL wire.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 6.
6. Check for continuity between the No. 6 terminal
and body ground.
There should be continuity.
. lf there is no continuity, check for:
- a n o p e n i n t h e B L K w i r e .
- p o o r g r o u n d ( G 4 0 1 ) .
. lfthere is continuity, check both mirrors

with jumper wires. The left mirror should tilt down
(or swing left) with the ignition switch ON (ll).
. lf the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing
left), check for an open in the GRN/^/VHT (or BLU/
WHT) wire between the left mirror and the 13p
connector. lf the wire is OK, check the left mirror
actuator.
. lf the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left,
repair the BLU/BLK wire.
. lf the mirror works properly, check the mirror
switch (see page 22-'129).
Right mirror
8. Connect the No. 2 terminal to the No. 'l 'l terminal,
and the No. 5 (or No. 13) terminal to body ground
with jumper wires. The right mirror should tilt
down (or swing left) with the ignition switch ON fll).
. lf the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing
left), check for an open in the GRN/WHT (or WHT/
RED) wire between the right mirror and the 13P
connector.
lf the wire is OK, check the right mirror actuator.
. If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left,
repair the REDryEL wire.
. lf the mirror works properly, check the mirror
switch (see page 22-129).

9. Connect the No. 1 and No. 8 terminals with a
jumper wire, and check for voltage between the
No. 1 terminal of the mirror connector and body
ground. There should be battery voltage and both
mirrors should warm up with the ignition switch
oN ( ).
