Remove the mirror mount cover (see step 2 under POWER MIRROR REPLACEMENT ).
Disconnect the 16P connector (A) from the power mirror actuator (B).

Check the actuator operation by connecting power and ground according to the table.

Terminal		9	10	11
Position		9	10	11
L	TILT UP	(+)	(-)
	TILT DOWN	(-)	(+)
	SWING LEFT		(+)	(-)
	SWING RIGHT		(-)	(+)
R	TILT UP		(-)	(-)
	TILT DOWN		(+)	(-)
	SWING LEFT	(+)	(-)
	SWING RIGHT	(-)	(+)

If the mirror fails to work properly, check for an open in the wire between the connector and the mirror holder. If the wire is OK, replace the mirror actuator (see POWER MIRROR ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT ).
Defogger Test
Measure the resistance between the terminals No. 1 and No. 2 of the 16P connector. There should be about 7 0.
If the resistance is not as specified, check for an open in the wire between the connector and the mirror holder. If the wire is OK, replace the mirror holder (see MIRROR HOLDER REPLACEMENT ).
