Common Symptoms
- Power mirrors not functioning as expected
- Warning light or message on dashboard related to the power mirror system
- Power mirrors won't adjust — stuck in current position
- Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) stored in module memory
Possible Causes
- Failed mirror motor — internal fault from age, heat cycling, and vibration
- Damaged wiring or corroded connector in the power mirror system circuit
- Blown fuse for the power mirror system circuit — check before replacing components
- Faulty control module driving the mirror motor
- Loose or corroded ground point shared by the power mirror system
Common Fixes
- Scan vehicle with a professional-grade OBD2 scanner to read all stored codes and freeze frame data — note the conditions when the code set ($25-121 at shop, free at auto parts store for basic scan)
- Visually inspect the power mirror system wiring harness and connectors — look for chafed wires, melted insulation, green corrosion, loose pins, or rodent damage (often free to check yourself, $147 diagnostic fee at shop)
- Inspect the wiring boot where it passes from the body into the door — this is the #1 failure point. Peel back the rubber boot and check for broken/cracked wires ($0 DIY inspection)
- Replace mirror motor if testing confirms it has failed — use OEM quality, avoid the cheapest no-name aftermarket parts that fail in a year ($50-400)
- Check and replace any blown fuses in the power mirror system fuse circuit — if fuse blows again, there's still a short that needs to be found ($1-17 for fuses)
