1995 Oldsmobile Aurora V8-4.0L VIN CSECTION Power Mirror
The power mirrors are adjusted from the interior of the vehicle by moving the outside mirror control switch in the desired direction.
Each outside mirror has two reversible motors. One adjusts the mirror view up and down, the other adjusts the mirror view right and left. The driver operates the UP-DOWN/LEFT-RIGHT switch to control the polarity of the voltage motors. The mirror select switch directs these control voltages to either the RH or LH outside mirror.
With the mirror select switch in the "L" position and the mirror position switch held in the "UP" position, battery voltage is applied through the "UP" contacts of the mirror position switch to the up-down motor in the LH outside mirror. The LH outside mirror up-down motor has a path to ground through the mirror select switch and the UP contact of the mirror position switch to ground. The LH outside mirror up-down motor runs and turns the mirror up.
When the mirror position switch is pushed to the "DOWN" position, the LH outside mirror UP-DOWN motor receives voltage; however, voltage polarity is reversed, The motor runs in the opposite direction.
The LH outside mirror left-right motor operates similarly. When the mirror position switch is moved to the "LEFT" position, battery voltage is applied through the "L" contacts of the mirror select switch and the "LEFT" contacts of the mirror position switch to battery to the left-right motor in the left outside mirror. The LH outside mirror LEFT-RIGHT motor is grounded through the left-right switch. The LH outside mirror left-right motor runs and turns the mirror to the left.
If the LEFT-RIGHT switch is pushed to the "RIGHT" position, the same motor receives voltage; however, voltage polarity is reversed. The motor runs in the opposite direction.
The RH outside mirror works the same way as the LH outside mirror when the mirror select switch is moved to the "R" position and the UP-DOWN and LEFT-RIGHT switches are operated.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
