Mirrors - Power: Description

On all models except Riviera and Corvette, power operated side view mirrors are controlled by a switch on armrest for driver's mirror and a switch on instrument panel for passenger's side mirror.

On Riviera, driver's door switch controls both mirrors, with selector switch in base of control switch determining which mirror is operated. On Corvette, switches are located on center console next to driver.

Cadillac and Corvette models also have a power mirror heating system which operates in conjunction with rear window defogger. When the defogger is turned on, the mirror base heats up through ground lead soldered to it. A thermistor in wiring circuit interrupts current flow when mirror base reaches 158°F (69°C) and turns off power to mirror.
