Left mirror inoperative
Connect the YEL/GRN1 terminal of the 10 – P connector to the YEL/RED terminal, and the BLU/WHT (or YEL/BLK) terminal to body earth with jumper wires. The left mirror should tilt down (or swing left) with the ignition switch ON(II).- If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for an open in the BLU/WHT (or YEL/BLK) wire between the left mirror and the 10 – P connector. If the wire is OK, check the left mirror motor.

Note: Check the No. 5 (7.5 A) fuse in the passenger compartment fuse/relay box before testing.
- Check for voltage between the YEL/GRN² terminal of the 10 – P connector and body earth with the ignition switch ON (II).
There should be battery voltage.
- If there is no voltage, check for an open in the YEL/GRN² wire between the passenger compartment fuse/relay box and the 10 – P connector.
- If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
- Connect the YEL/GRN² terminal of the 10 – P connector to the ORN terminal with a jumper wire. Both the right and left mirrors should gradually warm up with the ignition switch ON (II).
- If neither warms up, repair the ORN wire.
- If only one fails to warm up, check its mirror demister element.
- If both warm up, check the switch.
