Power Mirror Inoperative

  1. On Sephia and Spectra, check AUDIO (10-amp) fuse located in passenger compartment fuse box. On Sportage, check CIGAR (15-amp) fuse located in passenger compartment fuse box. If fuse is blown, check for cause of blown fuse, and repair as necessary. Replace fuse. If fuse is okay, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition on. Check for battery voltage by backprobing power mirror switch connector Green wire (White/Red wire on Sportage). See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, locate and repair open in wire.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect power mirror switch connector. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between ground and power mirror switch connector Black wire. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, locate and repair open in Black wire.
  4. Check power mirror switch. Power mirror switch is located left of steering column, in dash panel. See POWER MIRROR SWITCH  under COMPONENT TESTS. Replace power mirror switch as required. If power mirror switch is okay, go to next step.
  5. Reconnect power mirror switch connector. Disconnect suspect power mirror motor connector. See Figure. Turn ignition on. With power mirror switch in specified position, check for battery voltage at specified terminals of power mirror motor connector. See POWER MIRROR CIRCUIT TEST (SEPHIA & SPECTRA)  or POWER MIRROR CIRCUIT TEST (SPORTAGE)  table. If battery voltage is not present, locate and repair open in wiring between power mirror switch and power mirror motor connector. If battery voltage is present, check power mirror motor. See POWER MIRROR MOTOR  under COMPONENT TESTS.
