ManicMechanic Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 I've tried 2 different switches in my 1994 CS and neither of them will power either mirror to the right. Up, down and left work FINE. Nothing in my service manual shows how to diagnose this. Anyone here have any insight? Quote
1990lumina Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Do you have a wiring diagram of the circuit? I'm assuming it's straight forward but there must be a break in a wire somewhere - unless both siwthces magically don't work in the RIGHT position. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Posted June 29, 2008 Both switches do not work to the right...I'm going to try to dig in to it tomorrow. Quote
Venom Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 If both mirrors don't move to the right and you've tried two different switches with the same results, I would have to say its a pinched or broken wire somewhere. Good luck on the search. Quote
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 My TGP has the same problem. Its in the wiring plug on the back of the controller. If you take it off, and press on the back of the plug, in various spots, while holding it, and pressing the button, it will work, at least thats the way mine is. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 I figured out it is the switch...From years of water seeping past the seals or leaving the window down, it oxidized the circuit board. I have a new switch on the way. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 Well...WTF? I got a new switch (priority mail=9 days? Fuck you USPS but thank you rockfangd.) and it does not work to the right. Back to the drawing board. Quote
Brian P Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 maybe you have bad luck because if you're getting it to move to the left, the wires and connections are okay, since the switch just reverses the polarity for left or right. The only other thing I could say is your mirror motors are screwing up. Have you checked if the mirrors are getting power when trying to go to the right? Quote
Venom Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Wow its got me stumped now. /Off topic/ Hey brian I see youre repping some blue interior love for the haters like me huh? LOL /Off topic/ Quote
Quaraxkad Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Wow its got me stumped now. Any updates on this? I have the exact same problem. I doubt it's the motor, because neither side mirror moves right but every other direction works. I have the service manual for my car with wiring diagrams but none of that stuff makes any sense to me... Quote
jake63 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Try jumping out the terminals on the connector behind the switch, if you can figure out the correct ones from the wiring diagrams. Quote
BXX Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Jay, this is on your 94 Vert?? I will get a wiring diagram for you from Mitchell Quote
Crazy K Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Jay, this is on your 94 Vert?? I will get a wiring diagram for you from Mitchell he has the FSM. Quote
BXX Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Jay, this is on your 94 Vert?? I will get a wiring diagram for you from Mitchell he has the FSM. Ahh, ok. Then he shouldnt have a problem diag'ing it then Quote
ManicMechanic Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 Been too hot to look into it...If I don't sell it soon, then I will dig deeper. Quote
BXX Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Been too hot to look into it...If I don't sell it soon, then I will dig deeper. You should sell it to me cheap and I can come meet up with ya yup, my next car is a Vert... plan on getting one in Spring once my CS is done /threadjack And Jay, if you need anything like diag steps and crap like that, I have Mitchell On Demand.

rockfangd Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Well i had the same problem on my cadillac and it was the same exact problem I tried 3 switches and all did the same, but i tested them all in my car and every one i had worked fine. I think the only bad one i ever had came from my cutlass when i bought it. It wouldnt work on down or left. Put a new used one in and i have never had another problem. Good luck to you Quote
