Switch Test

Calais, Grand Am & Somerset

1) Test circuit fuse by operating horn. If neither mirror

operates, check for battery voltage at center console outside mirror

switch by connecting a test lamp between Orange wire and ground. If

test lamp lights, connect test lamp between Orange wire and Black

wire. If test lamp does not light, check Orange and Black wire

circuits.

2) If left mirror does not operate: Place mirror selector

switch in left mirror position. Connect test lamp to Yellow and Lt.

Green/Black terminals of outside mirror switch. Check that test lamp

lights when mirror control switch is in up and down position.

3) Connect test lamp to Lt. Blue and White/Black terminals

of outside mirror switch. Check that test lamp lights when mirror

control switch is in left and right positions. If test lamp lights

but mirror does not turn, check wiring and motor. If test lamp does

not light when switches are in position to energize its terminals,

install a new outside mirror switch.

4) If right mirror does not operate: Place mirror selector

switch in right mirror position. Connect test lamp to Yellow and Lt.

Green terminals of outside mirror switch. Check that test lamp lights

when mirror control switch is in up and down position.

5) Connect test lamp to Lt. Blue/Black and White terminals

of outside mirror switch. Check that test lamp lights when mirror

control switch is in left and right position. If test lamp lights but

mirror does not turn, check wiring and motor. If test lamp does not

light when switches are in position to energize its terminals,

install a new outside mirror switch.

Toronado) and White terminals of outside mirror switch. Check that

test lamp lights when mirror control switch is in left and right

positions.

4) If test lamp lights but mirror does not turn, check

wiring and motor. If test lamp does not light when switches are in

position to energize its terminals, install a new outside mirror

switch.
