        A: Go to next Step 

  4. INSPECT OUTER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY LH 
    1. Remove the mirror LH (see REMOVAL )
    2. For each mirror position- Disconnect the battery, set the mirror position by hand, connect the battery, and check the retractable mirror's movement
      NOTE:
      • Disconnect and reconnect the battery once between each mirror position check.
      • Do not apply battery voltage when moving the mirror by hand into each mirror position.

      OK
