Installation Guide

This Brock Power Mirror is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment. The housing is unfinished and requires painting to match your vehicle's exterior color. It comes complete with mirror glass and housing, ready for bolt-on installation.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Socket wrench set
• Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead)
• Plastic trim removal tools
• Painter's tape and masking materials (if painting)
• Automotive paint matching your vehicle's color (if painting)

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
2. Remove Door Panel: Carefully remove the interior door panel on the passenger side. This typically involves removing screws hidden behind trim pieces or door handles, and then prying the panel off using trim removal tools. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific door panel removal instructions.
3. Disconnect Wiring: Locate the electrical connector for the existing side mirror. Disconnect it by pressing the release tab and pulling it apart.
4. Remove Old Mirror: Unscrew the mounting bolts that secure the old mirror to the door frame. There are typically three bolts. Once the bolts are removed, carefully detach the old mirror from the vehicle.
5. Prepare New Mirror (Optional Painting): If you wish to paint the mirror housing to match your vehicle, do so before installation. Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for proper surface preparation, priming, painting, and clear coating. Allow adequate drying time.
6. Install New Mirror: Position the new Brock Power Mirror onto the door frame, aligning the mounting holes. Secure it with the original mounting bolts. Do not overtighten.
7. Connect Wiring: Connect the electrical connector of the new mirror to the vehicle's wiring harness. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
8. Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Before reattaching the door panel, test the power adjustment function of the new mirror using the interior mirror control switch. Ensure the mirror glass moves correctly in all directions.
9. Reinstall Door Panel: Once functionality is confirmed, carefully reattach the interior door panel, ensuring all clips and screws are properly secured.

Operating Instructions

The Brock Power Mirror operates using your vehicle's existing interior mirror control switch. Once installed and connected, you can adjust the mirror glass position electronically from inside the vehicle.

1. Turn on Vehicle Ignition: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is in the 'ACC' or 'ON' position to supply power to the mirror controls.
2. Select Mirror: Use the mirror selector switch (if present) to choose the passenger side mirror.
3. Adjust Mirror Position: Use the directional control pad or joystick on your vehicle's mirror control switch to move the mirror glass up, down, left, or right until you achieve the desired viewing angle.

This mirror is designed for power adjustment only and does not include a heating function.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and proper function of your power mirror.

• Cleaning: Clean the mirror glass and housing regularly with a soft cloth and automotive glass cleaner or mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the mirror surface or painted finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the mirror for any signs of damage, loose components, or unusual movement. Ensure the electrical connection remains secure.
• Folding: While the mirror may be designed to fold, excessive force or frequent manual folding is not recommended as it can stress internal components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Brock Power Mirror, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Mirror Not Adjusting:
  • Check the vehicle's ignition to ensure it is in the 'ACC' or 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the electrical connector is securely plugged into the vehicle's wiring harness.
  • Inspect the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the power mirrors. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for fuse locations.
  • Ensure the mirror selector switch (if applicable) is set to the passenger side.
• Mirror Glass is Loose or Vibrates:
  • Check the mounting bolts that secure the mirror to the door frame. Ensure they are tightened appropriately.
  • If the mirror glass itself is loose within the housing, it may indicate internal damage.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a qualified automotive technician or contact Brock customer support.
