Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface, and the ignition is off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box (usually under the dashboard or hood).
  • Remove the cover and identify the fuse labeled for power mirrors.
  • Use a fuse puller to remove the fuse and inspect it.
    • If blown: Replace with a new fuse of the same amperage.
3. Power Mirror Switch Replacement
  • Remove the trim panel surrounding the power mirror switch using a trim removal tool.
  • Unscrew and disconnect the old mirror switch from the wiring harness.
  • Connect the new mirror switch and secure it back into place.
  • Reinstall the trim panel.
4. Wiring Inspection and Repair
  • Inspect the wiring harness connected to the mirrors.
  • If any wires are frayed or damaged, repair them with electrical tape or replace the entire harness.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.
5. Reconnect Battery and Test
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Test the power mirror functionality by adjusting both mirrors.
