Folding Mirrors Description
The door mirrors can be folded electrically to prevent damage using the joystick operated mirror switch located on the fascia, The mirrors only operate with the ignition switch in position II.

The central position on the switch is used for the folding mirrors function. The switch is moved vertically down to fold the mirrors in or out A dedicated folding mirrors ECU is located behind the fascia adjacent to the 'A' post. All feeds to and from the folding mirror motors are controlled by the ECU.

Folding mirror operation is controlled by an earth signal received by the ECU from the mirror switch The ECU supplies a feed to each motor to drive it in the required direction. The feed is supplied for a maximum of 30 seconds. The motors detect a stall condition when they are fully folded in or out which is sensed by the ECU which then removes the power feed.

Folding Mirrors Supply

Circuit supply
A feed from the battery positive terminal is connected on an R wire to to the engine compartment fusebox where it passes through fusible links 3 and 8.

A feed from fusible link 3 is connected on an NR wire to the passenger compartment fusebox where it passes through fuse 21. The feed is connected from fuse 21 on a PB wire to header C0292. From the header the feed is connected on an NS wire to pin C0907-8 on the folding mirror ECU.

A feed from fusible link 8 is connected from the engine compartment fusebox on an NW wire to the passenger compartment fuse box. The passenger compartment fusebox is connected to the ignition switch on an N wire.

Ignition switch supply
With the ignition switch in position II, the feed from fusible link 8 flows through the ignition switch to the passenger compartment fuse box on a W wire where it passes through fuse 31. From fuse 31 the feed is connected on a GR wire from the fusebox, via header C0289 to pin C0907-6 on the folding mirror ECU. The ECU is connected on a B wire to earth header C0017
