Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: Socket set, OBD-II scanner, multimeter, screwdriver set, wiring harness repair kit (if needed).
  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety during repairs.
2. Inspect and Replace the Power Mirror Switch
  • Remove the trim panel around the power mirror switch using a flat screwdriver.
  • Unscrew the power mirror switch from the panel.
  • Use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity.
    • If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new one.
  • Reinstall the switch and trim panel.
3. Check and Replace Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box, usually found on the driver's side near the dashboard.
  • Identify the fuse related to the power mirrors (refer to the owner's manual for the exact fuse number).
  • Inspect the fuse for continuity. Replace if blown with a fuse of the same amperage.
4. Inspect the Wiring and Connectors
  • Follow the wiring harness from the power mirror switch to the mirrors.
  • Look for any visible damage, loose connections, or corrosion.
  • Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors as necessary using a wiring harness repair kit.
5. Test the Power Mirror Motors
  • If the switch and wiring are functional, test the mirror motors.
  • Disconnect the mirror from the vehicle and apply direct battery voltage to the motor terminals to check for operation.
    • If the motors do not function, they may need to be replaced.
