Reversing the function of window and mirror power switches involves swapping the wiring connections to change the direction in which the switches operate.
PROCEDURES:
- Remove the Door Panel: Use a trim removal tool or a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry off the door panel, starting from the edges. Be cautious not to damage the panel or any clips holding it in place. Once removed, set the panel aside.
- Locate the Power Switch Assembly: Identify the power switch assembly for the windows and mirrors on the door panel. This assembly typically includes the switches for each window and mirror adjustment.
- Identify the Wiring Connections: Take note of the wiring connections to each switch. You may need to refer to the video above for the wiring connections to ensure accurate identification.
- Disconnect the Wiring Connectors: Carefully disconnect the wiring connectors from the power switch assembly. You may need to use a small flathead screwdriver to release any locking tabs or connectors.
- Reposition the Wiring Connections: Identify the wires corresponding to the window and mirror functions you want to reverse. You may refer to the video above for the correct wiring connections. Swap the wiring connections so that the window switches now control the mirrors, and the mirror switches control the windows.
- Reconnect the Wiring Connectors: Once the wiring connections are repositioned, reconnect the wiring connectors to the power switch assembly. Ensure each connector is securely attached.
- Reinstall the Door Panel: Carefully align the door panel with the door frame, ensuring that any clips or fasteners align correctly. Gently press the panel back into place until it snaps securely.
- Test the Functionality: Test the power switches to verify that the window and mirror functions have been reversed. Ensure that each switch operates as intended and that the windows and mirrors respond accordingly.
It’s essential to exercise caution and follow safety protocols when working with electrical components in a vehicle. If you’re unsure about any step of the process, consult a professional automotive technician for assistance.
