  3. Choose the appropriate test based on the symptom:
    • Both mirrors don't work, go to step 4.
    • Left mirror doesn't work, go to step  6 .
    • Right mirror doesn't work, go to step  7 .

    Both mirrors 

  4. Check for voltage between the No. 2 terminal and body ground with the ignition switch ON (II).
    • There should be battery voltage.
    • If there is no battery voltage, check for:
      • Blown No. 14 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • An open in the BLK/YEL wire.
    • If there is battery voltage, go to step 5.
  5. Check for continuity between the No. 6 terminal and body ground.

    There should be continuity.

    • If there is no continuity, check for:
      • An open in the BLK wire.
      • Poor ground (G501).
    • If there is continuity, check both mirrors individually as described in step 6 and step  7 .

    Left mirror 

  6. Connect the No. 2 terminal to the No. 10 terminal, and the No. 5 (then No. 12) terminal to No. 6 terminal with jumper wires. The left mirror should tilt down (then 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 GRN/WHT (or BLU/WHT) wire between the left mirror and the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the left mirror actuator (see POWER MIRROR ACTUATOR TEST  ).
    • If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the BLU/BLK wire.
    • If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch (see POWER MIRROR SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT  ).

    Right mirror 

  7. Connect the No. 2 terminal to the No. 11 terminal, and the No. 5 (then No. 13) terminal to No. 6 terminal with jumper wires. The right mirror should tilt down (then 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 GRN/WHT (or WHT/RED) wire between the right mirror and the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the right mirror actuator (see POWER MIRROR SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT  ).
    • If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the RED/YEL wire.
    • If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch (see POWER MIRROR SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT  ).
