Cadillac 15269044 Mirror,Inside Rear View

To remove the outside mirrors, pry the upper corner of the trim panel out until the retaining clip disengages, then slide the panel up to detach it from the door panel. Disconnect the electrical connector from the mirror, remove the three retaining bolts, and detach the mirror from the vehicle, with installation being the reverse of removal. For the inside mirror, disconnect the electrical connector if equipped, then remove the setscrew at the base of the mirror stalk. Slide the mirror upwards to detach it from its mount. If the mount plate has come off the windshield, adhesive kits are available at auto parts stores for reattachment; follow the included instructions, ensuring the flanged part of the mount is positioned away from the glass and the narrower part is pointing up.

If there is no sound coming from the mirrors and they do not operate, checking the fuses is recommended.

To troubleshoot any issues with the mirrors, start by operating the mirror control switch through all functions for both the left and right side mirrors while listening for the sound of the electric motors running.

To install, simply reverse the removal process.

If the mirrors do not operate at all and no sound is produced, it is advisable to check the fuses.

Loosen the Torx setscrew and slide the mirror off the support base on the windshield.

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.

Follow the reverse of the removal procedure.

The control switch features four arrows. After selecting the desired mirror, pushing the arrows will position it accordingly.

To disconnect the electrical connector from the inside mirror, if equipped, you need to disconnect it from the mirror.

Start by removing the door trim panel and upper corner interior trim panel. If the mirrors are power mirrors, disconnect the wiring harness before removing the nuts and detaching the mirror from the door.

Disconnect the electrical connector if there are electronic components. Remove the set screw and slide the mirror up off the support base on the windshield.

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.

Start by removing the door trim panel and the door insulator.

If the motors can be heard but the mirror glass does not move, it is likely that there is an issue with the drive mechanism inside the mirror. In such cases, the entire mirror unit must be replaced as it does not contain user-serviceable parts.

If the mirror still doesn't work after checking the grounding, you should remove the mirror and check the wires at the mirror for voltage.

The first motor is responsible for adjusting the glass up and down.

If the mirror fails the test with jumper wires, you should replace the mirror.

Use a special mirror adhesive kit and follow the instructions on the package. Allow the base to bond overnight before attaching the mirror.

Most electric rearview mirrors use two motors, one for up and down movements and one for left-right adjustments.

If the mirror fails the test with jumper wires, you should replace the mirror.

Most electric side view mirrors utilize two motors for adjustments: one for vertical movement and another for horizontal movement.

Remove the foam insulator, if equipped, and then remove the entire door panel.
