Rear View Mirror System: Overview Ford Mustang V

Mirrors ~346 words

Principles Of Operation

The rear view mirror system consists of 2 exterior mirrors (each mirror includes 2 mirror motors) mounted on the exterior doors, an exterior mirror control switch and an interior rear view mirror.

The exterior mirrors are electrically controlled by the exterior mirror control switch for both vertical and horizontal movement. The exterior mirror control switch is hardwired to the exterior mirrors. When the LH or RH exterior mirror is selected, adjustment is carried out by moving the control to the desired position.

Normal Operation

The exterior mirror control switch is supplied voltage from the smart junction box through circuit 956 (OG/LG) and grounds through circuit 1205 (BK). The exterior mirror control switch activates the LH exterior mirror by switching voltage and ground to circuits 541 (DB), 540 (RD), and 542 (YE). The switch activates the RH exterior mirror by switching voltage and ground to circuits 544 (VT), 543 (DG), and 542 (YE). The exterior mirror control switch must be in the appropriate (left or right) position for the desired mirror to operate.
