Power Mirror Motor: Service and Repair
Power Mirror Actuator Replacement
1. With the mirror still on the vehicle, press in on the upper half of the mirror to create a gap at the lower edge between the mirror housing and the
mirror. Look up through the gap to locate the two slots in the bottom of the actuator.
2. Insert a flat tip screwdriver into the two slots. The mirror is fastened to the actuator with double backed adhesive tape. Twist the screwdriver
gently to release the mirror. (Protect the paint with a towel inserted between the screwdriver and the mirror housing.)
3. Release the mirror holder hooks from the actuator, and remove the mirror.
4. Disconnect the heated mirror 2P connector (with heated mirror).
5. Disconnect the power mirror position sensor 5P connector (with DPMS).
6. Without removing the center screw, remove the Phillips head screws that attach the actuator to the mirror housing.
7. Disconnect the four actuator wires; gently pull the base of the rubber seal around each actuator wire.
8. Connect the actuator wires and power mirror position sensor 5P connector to the new actuator exactly as they were. Press each seal firmly against
the back of the new actuator.
9. Attach the actuator to the housing with the Phillips head screws removed in step 6.
10. Connect the heated mirror 2P connector.
