Nefarious Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Hey all. Well after putting my Pathfinder back on the road I was reminded that my power mirrors dont work!! Haha they never have since I've owned it..kind of forgot. Anyway, has anyone been through this before? What exactly does the system consist of... Neither side works up or down; left or right. Before I start tearing into the interior, what am I looking for? Is there some kind of power mirror amplifier that is prone to failure? Could it be the switch since nothing at all works? Always nice to ask around if anyone else has already dealt with the headache! Edited December 25, 2011 by Nefarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994SEV6 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Hey all. Well after putting my Pathfinder back on the road I was reminded that my power mirrors dont work!!

Before I start tearing into the interior, what am I looking for? Is there some kind of power mirror amplifier that is prone to failure? Could it be the switch since nothing at all works? Always nice to ask around if anyone else has already dealt with the headache! I have power mirrors, and they still work after 17 years. I've torn my dash completely apart countless times and they are still intact. What you might want to check for first, is that the switch is plugged in. As you may know, every single switch/button just pops right out of it's place. The hazards pop right out of the spot, the dimmer switch, the defroster, all those switches just pop right out. The power mirror switch is no exception. If you take off the bottom dash (the part below the steering wheel that covers the fuse box), you can get to the screw that holds in the driver's side AC vent. Actually, you don't even have to take off the bottom part, just unclip it at the top and let it hang down. Take that screw out, then you can bend the vent (VERY carefully) up and pop the switches out. You might have the cruise control switch, the Auto/power switch, and the power mirrors switch. Pop the cruise control and auto/power switches out for more room. Then pop out the power mirrors switch and see if it's connected. Also, it may be connected but the relay has gone bad. I think you should change that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) If the switch isn't unplugged have you downloaded the fsm go to Bf section and down to mirrors it has the electrical there good luck Edited December 25, 2011 by vagabond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towncivilian Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Don't forget to check the fuses too, see BF-53. Edited December 25, 2011 by Towncivilian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'd start with the fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994SEV6 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 a fuse for power mirrors? I can't see that ever blowing. short of a power surge...and how does that even happen? lightening strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Man do you ever do any research before posting. To the OP. I believe the fuse for the power mirrors also runs the rear wiper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 According to the FSM there are 2 fuses for the power mirrors, top row second one in from the left and bottom row first fuse on the left, taken from the 94 FSM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
