Subject: Re: mirror motors by vette079 on 2011/6/18 19:57:38 Well guys, I found the problem and it wasn´t in the book. At least not where I would expect it. And that is in the electrical supplement that came with the big book. Here goes, I tested again following the chart in the second FSM. Chart 2, disconnect conn. at mirror assembly, then you should connect a test light to ground and terminal B, then A and C together and so on. The thing is, the wires at the conn. at the mirror assembly (6) are all black... So, now I tested for resistance between the colored wires (at the switch, purple/white, light green and white IIRC) that are pointed out in the chart and any of the black wires at the mirror assembly conn. Two out of three at the connector showed resistance when connected with the wires at the switch. Purple/white was one of them, followed the purple/white wire and came to what probably is a junction where wires go to the right side mirror. Disconnected it and voila, found it to be corroded in there, cleaned up sprayed all connectors in that door with some spray for electric parts and connectors (I´m here in Europe, they probably don´t sell the same brand in the US and I got it cheap a few years ago). And both my right and left mirrors are working again. Copied from my reply at another forum. By the way I got my rear defogger fixed as well, it wasn´t working either and turned out to be the left (ground) wire had lost it´s connecton somehow. |
