Buick 13524917 MIRROR ASM-I/S RR VIEW

To remove the mirror, unplug the negative battery terminal first, and then you will have to take off the door trim panel, and then disconnect the connector. If necessary, remove such parts as trim plate and foam sound insulator for the further work. Third, take off all three of the mounting nuts and the mirror - to reach it, take off the black plastic cap under the door weatherstrip in order to get to the forward nut. For installation, place the mirror near the door and screw into the mounting nuts making sure that it is tightened to clockwise 54 inch lbs. (6 Nm). Put back the black plastic cap under the weatherstrip, connect the wiring connector, and if required one should replace the foam sound insulator as well as the mirror trim plate. Last but not the least, replace the door trim panel and bring back the negative terminal of the battery to life.

Remove the door trim panel, then take out the retaining screws that hold the mirror escutcheon in place, which are two Phillips head screws. Pull the escutcheon down and away from the door frame to release it from the clip. For manual mirrors, loosen the Allen screw that secures the control on the escutcheon, as this screw must be removed to detach the control cable. For power mirrors, unplug the electrical connector. After removing the escutcheon, take off the three nuts and lift the mirror assembly away. Installation follows the reverse order of removal.

To remove the outside mirror, start by removing the door trim panel and molding. Then, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the mirror fasteners.

If there is no voltage at the mirror wires, you should check the ground connections and test the wires at the mirror for voltage.

Begin by removing the door trim panel and peeling back the water shield near the mirror.

Follow these steps for all mirror types to install: 1. Ensure the mirror gasket or electric wire is properly aligned. 2. Replace the mirror and filler on the door. 3. Install the filler attaching screws at the top front of the window frame. 4. Attach the nuts to the mirror studs and tighten them. 5. Reinstall the screw at the belt and insert the noise control patch. 6. Secure the front glass run channel lower retainer and filler with attaching bolts and screws. 7. Replace the front portion of the glass run weatherstrip. 8. For electric remote mirrors, ensure the electric wire is routed around the front glass run channel retainer and installed to the clip. 9. Tighten the nuts to 72 inch lbs. (8 Nm). 10. Finally, reconnect the negative battery cable and reset any accessories if needed.

Holding the switch while swinging the door open and closed may help identify any breaks in the door jamb.

First, remove the trim around the mirror by pushing it up and away from the window to access the electrical connector.

Electric rearview mirrors typically use two motors, one for up-down movements and one for left-right movements.

Proceed with the installation by reversing the removal process.

Unplug the electrical connector.

The memory system in the mirrors automatically recalls the preset position stored in the door modules when a data signal is sent to move them to that preset value.

Install the jackscrews onto the replacement mirror, connect the heated mirror electrical leads if equipped, and ensure the jackscrews align with the motor housing.

Start by removing the mirror trim cover.

If the mirrors don't operate as expected, you can perform several checks:With the ignition in the ACC position and the engine off, operate the mirror control switch through all functions for both left and right side mirrors. Listen for the sound of the electric motors inside the mirrors.If you hear the motors but the mirror glass doesn't move, there might be a problem with the drive mechanism inside the mirror. In such cases, the defective mirror must be replaced as a unit.If there is no sound coming from the mirrors and they don't operate, first check the fuses. If the fuses are okay, proceed with further diagnosis.Remove the mirror control switch and have its continuity checked by a dealer service department or qualified shop.Check the ground connections.If the mirror still doesn't work, remove the mirror and check the wires at the mirror for voltage. If there's no voltage in each switch position, check the circuit between the mirror and control switch for opens and shorts.If there is voltage, remove the mirror and test it off the vehicle with jumper wires. Replace the mirror if it fails this test.

If the mirror remains unresponsive, remove it and check for voltage at the mirror wires with the ignition ON and the selector switch in the appropriate position, ensuring voltage is present in all positions except the neutral position.

To remove the small interior trim panel, you need to first remove the mirror's mounting nuts.

If the mounting plate has come off the windshield, you can use adhesive kits to resecure it. Follow the instructions included with the kit, making sure to position the flanged part of the mount away from the glass and the narrower part pointing up.

If the motors can be heard but the mirror glass doesn't move, there may be a problem with the drive mechanism inside the mirror.

If there is no sound coming from the mirrors, you should check the fuses and the continuity of the mirror control switch.
