DOOR PANEL & MIRROR HOUSING REMOVAL ONTINUED

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.

WARNING: Safety glasses and sturdy gloves are required for mirror replacement.

Guide all wire harnesses thru the hole in the doorframe and position themirror housing assembly on the mirror mount. Reconnect mirror harness (A1). Attach the mirror

housing to the mirror mount with three mirror mounting nuts (A2). WARNING! Do notover tighten the mirror mounting nuts. Find the rubber boot located between the

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

wire harness. Insert the Signal

mirror wire harness thru the drilled opening on the boot connector (C). Remove any slack in the Signal

mirror wire harness. Remove

plastic trim pieces on therunning board and the kick panel. Use a 1/8” drill bit, drill a pilot hole into the side ofthe kick panel (D). Re-drill using a 1/2” drill bit (E).
