  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the switch.
  • Install the new power mirror switch by connecting the wiring harness and securing the panel back in place.
4. Wiring Inspection and Repair
  • If the mirrors still do not function, visually inspect the wiring harness connected to the mirrors.
  • Look for frayed wires, corrosion, or loose connections.
  • Repair any damaged wires using a wiring harness repair kit.
5. Test the Mirrors
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Test the power mirrors using the switch to ensure they are functioning properly.
