MIRROR REPLA EMENT
Push do
wn on the lower
out
board edge
ofglass until mirror pivots fully outward. Insert a large
slotted
screwdriver in between the
mirror backing plate and motor actuator
(A)
.
Carefully pry and twist screwdriver until original mirror pops off. If heated, disconnect heater wires from heater terminals and remove mirror. Remove the foam insulation
on the housing sail (B). Using the shorter ofthe two harnesses from the wiring kit, guide the end with the shrink tube wrapped around it thru the foam insulation, thru the
housing sail (B), and into the mirror housing (C). Use a utility knife, carefully cut the shrink tube and remove it (D). Be very careful not to cutinto the wiring harness
itself. Using one of the supplied housing connectors, insert the red wire pin into slot #1 -chamfer side (E). Insert the black wire pin into slot #2 - non-chamfer side (E).
Continue to insert each pin into its hole until the pin snaps into place (not removable). Pull the Signal
®
mirror wire harness thru housing sail leaving about 4”to 6” ofthe wire
harness inside mirror housing. Connect themating connectors on the new Signal
®
mirror and the Signal
®
mirror wire harness (F). If heated, reconnect the heater wires to the
heater terminals on the back ofthe new Signal
®
mirror (F). NOTE: There is no polarity so the wires maybe interchanged. Carefully tuck all wiring behind motor
actuator. Not doing so, could result in wiring interfering with mirror travel. Remove thePSA liner on thePSA disc. Align and center the motor mount onto themotor
actuator. With the palm of your hand, slowly push down on the glass until the new Signal
®
mirror snaps into position. Press down on all sides to ensure the new Signal
®
mirror is fully seated and functional. Replace the foam insulation onto thehousing sail.

door frame and vehicle frame. Use a flat screwdriver, push-down from the top and push-up from the bottom to release boot connector from the vehicle frame. Pry out the boot
connector. Uncover the rubber boot from the boot connector. Tape the open end ofthe Signal
®
mirror wire harness to the fish rod. Push the fish rod from inside door frame
through the rubber boot (B). Once the fish rod with the Signal
®
mirror wire harness protrudes through the rubber boot, cut the tape with a utility knife and pull the Signal
®
mirror wire harness through rubber boot, removing anyslack in the Signal
®
mirror wire harness. Work the grey boot connector out of the body panel so it faces you. Use 1/4”
inch drill bit, drill an access hole though the upper unused section ofthe connector. Use extreme caution as not todamage anything around this area, including paint or
