3) While holding the battery sensor in place with one hand, use a ยผโ€ drive ratchet and 10mm socket to remove the negative battery cable from the negative battery stud. Do not remove negative cable from the battery post.

4) Position / protect the negative cable so it cannot accidentally touch body ground or the negative battery terminal and Allow (60) seconds before the next installation step to ensure the airbag power supply is discharged.

 

While disconnecting the negative battery cable from the stud, hold the battery sensor in place with one hand while loosening the 10mm hex nut that secures the cable to the sensor. This will help support the sensor to prevent damage and prevent the assembly from rotating on the battery post causing a poor connection.

 

Prepare the Exterior Mirror Housings

Using masking tape, apply tape to the top and the bottom of the LH and RH mirror housing to prevent scratching or chipping the plastic housing surfaces.

 

Remove OE Mirror Glass

Remove the OE exterior mirror glass assembly from the LH and RH mirror housing by firmly gripping the bottom of the mirror glass and pulling out with moderate force. If the mirror glass is heated carefully remove the heater circuit connectors from the glass assembly. Dispose / recycle the exterior mirrors.

 

Locate Exterior Approach Wiring Harness

2. Clean away the excess foam still affixed to the mirror housing and the pre-arranged connector.

3. Carefully remove and dispose/recycle the white prearranged connector mate from the prearranged connectors.

5. Ensure both connectors are secured in place in their corresponding mirror clips.

Confirm proper electrical connections with the push-pull method on both connectors.

 

Exterior Approach Installation Volcano Clip Best Practice

1. To easy the routing of the orange and light blue wires through the volcano clip, rotate the mirror bottom up so the harness wires have more length.

2. Use your fingers to seat the light blue and orange wires into the volcano clip.

Ensure the wiring is not pinched between mirror glass & backing plate or overlapping on the areas where the mirror glass is installed on the backing plate to prevent pinching wires and potential wiring damage.

Ensure the friction damper spring is inserted in the large slot. If installed in the smaller slot the mirror movement will be restricted.

 

1) Re-connect the negative cable by reinstalling the saved 10mm nut on the stud. Use a ยผโ€ drive torque wrench and a 10mm socket, tighten the cable nut to 66 In.

Lbs. while holding the sensor to prevent damage and prevent the assembly from rotating on the battery post.

3) Remove protection. Carefully disconnect the hood opening prop rod and store the rod back into position under the hood and close the hood.

 

While connecting the negative battery cable to the stud, hold the battery sensor in place with one hand while torqueing the 10mm hex nut that secures the cable to the sensor. This will help support the sensor to prevent damage and prevent the assembly from rotating on the battery post causing a poor connection.
