Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: socket set, screwdriver set, multimeter, and trim removal tools.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is turned off.
2. Inspect and Test the Adjustment Switch
  • Remove the panel covering the adjustment switch using trim removal tools.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the switch.
  • Use a multimeter to test for continuity in the switch when pressing each adjustment direction.
    • If continuity is not present, replace the switch.
3. Check the Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box (typically under the dashboard or hood).
  • Identify the fuse for the side mirror adjustment (refer to the owner’s manual).
  • Inspect the fuse; if blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.
4. Inspect Wiring Connections
  • Remove the side mirror housing cover to access wiring.
  • Check for loose, damaged, or corroded wiring connections.
    • Repair or replace any damaged wires, ensuring a secure connection.
5. Test the Adjustment Motor
  • With the side mirror cover removed, connect the mirror adjustment motor directly to a 12V power source.
  • Observe if the motor operates; if it does not, replace the mirror assembly.
