  5. Reinstall the door panel securely.
3. Check and Replace Fuses
  1. Locate the fuse box as indicated in the owner’s manual.
  2. Identify the fuse for the mirror adjustment system.
  3. Remove the fuse and inspect it for any signs of damage or burning.
  4. Replace with a new fuse of the same amperage if necessary.
  5. Reconnect the battery and test the mirror adjustment.
4. Inspect and Reconnect Wiring Harness
  1. Remove the door panel as described above.
