Power side mirror - Ford Forums

Hi all:

Have a 92 tempo with power side mirrors. Both are not working the fuse is good. Just wondering if anyone has fought with this problem before?

Thanks
Keith

Here's a wiring diagram for the circuit. Check for power on the light green/yellow wire at the switch with a test light or voltmeter. Check to be sure black wire to the ground is good. If both are okay, you'll need a switch. You can wiggle both buttons on the switch a few times and sometimes the contacts will clear off if it is the switch.

Hello and good day:

It may be a Relay under the hood!!! or the Servo Motors gone bad. Or the Switch!!!

Did they both go out at the same time???

I just bought the vehicle and they did not work when I bought it. The only thing I know is the fuse is good and I haven't had a chance to check the wiring etc. The only other thing that doesn't work is the daytime running lights and I don't know if they are connected. Where is this relay under the hood?

Thanks

I don't know what relay Sterling mentioned. Hopefuly he'll post back. If you check my wiring diagram, it doesn't show a relay. Have you checked for power at the fuse?

Haynes publication # 36078 Ford Tempo & Mercury Topaz ....1984 to 1994.

Chapter 12, section 41. sub-section 24 to 25.

Diagnosis can usually be limited to simple checks of the wiring, connection, and motors, also the Circuit Breaker. This should be located in the Main Fuse (maxi fuses) Box located under the hood.

I hope this help.

From the Ford factory manual. The diagram is the one I posted earlier.

LOL well you know how reliable Haynes can be.....I Ford put out this Publication then it should be correct.

Have to admit that the Haynes is better than guessing. I just got the Ford manuals when I was heavily involved in that kind of work. I don't habe any manuals newer than 2001 though.
