Power Mirror System Components
The power mirror system consists of the following components:
| • | Power mirror switch |
| • | Selector switch |
| • | Left outside power mirror |
| • | Right outside power mirror |
| • | CTSY 20A fuse |
Each of the outside power mirrors contains two reversible motors. The vertical motor operates the up and down directions and the horizontal motor operates the left and right directions. Each of the power mirror motors are circuit breaker protected.
Power Mirror System Controls
The power mirror switch incorporates a mirror select switch and a four position mirror direction switch.
The mirror select switch allows the operator to select the mirror to be moved by rotating counterclockwise to the L position (left outside power mirror) or rotating clockwise to the R position (right outside power mirror).
The mirror direction switch is a four position switch that allows the operator to move the selected mirror up, down, left or right.
Power Mirror System Operation
The power mirror switch receives power through the battery positive voltage circuit and the CTSY fuse. The power mirror switch also receives a constant ground.
The four positions of the direction switch have dual switch contacts. Each of the contacts are connected to opposing sides of the appropriate power mirror motors through the selector switch. The selector switch interrupts or completes these circuits depending on the position of the selector switch (L or R).
If the selector switch is placed in the L position and the up switch is depressed, battery positive voltage will be supplied to the left outside power mirror vertical motor through the left mirror motor up direction circuit and return to the power mirror switch through the mirror motor common circuit then to ground and the mirror will move up. If the down switch is depressed, the common circuit supplies battery positive voltage and the left mirror motor up direction circuit completes the path to the power mirror switch then to ground and the mirror will move down.
The remainder of the mirror functions operate in the same manner as described above. The thing to remember is, that by placing the power mirror switch in opposing positions (left/right or up/down) will reverse the polarity of the mirror motor, utilizing the same circuits and the power mirror will move accordingly.
