GRN/WHT) wire between the left mirror and the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the left
mirror actuator.

z

If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the BLU/BLK wire.

If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch.

Right Mirror:

7. Connect the No. 6 terminal to the No. 7 terminal, and the No. 1 (or No. 10) terminal to the No. 3 terminal

with jumper wires. The right mirror should tilt down (or swing left) with the ignition switch ON (II).

If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for an open in the WHT/RED (or
GRN/WHT) wire between the right mirror and the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the right
mirror actuator.

z

If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the RED/YEL wire.

z

If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch.

Defogger (Canada):

8. Connect the No. 12 and No. 11 terminals with a jumper wire, and check for voltage between the No. 2

terminal of the mirror connectors and body ground. There should be battery voltage and both mirrors
should warm up with the ignition switch ON (II).

z

If there is no voltage or neither warms up, check for:

„

an open in the BLK/YEL or ORN wire.

„

blown No. 30 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

z

If only one fails to warm up, check:

„

its defogger.
