  Q: How to replace side view mirrors on Mazda 323?

  A:

  To replace the outside mirror, start by prying off the mirror control handle screw cover, removing the handle shaft screw, and taking off the handle. Next, detach the mirror cover inside the door using a small screwdriver to pry it free. Remove the mirror retaining screws from inside the door to detach the mirror. For power outside mirrors, after detaching the mirror cover and removing the retaining screws, unplug the power mirror electrical connector, which may require removing the door trim panel and peeling back part of the water shield for access. If needed, check or repair the power mirror switch by detaching it from the instrument panel, and then installation is the reverse of removal. For mirror glass replacement on 1990 through 1994 manual and power types, use a hot air blower to heat the mirror, adjust it for accessibility, and carefully pry it loose with a thin scraper while keeping it hot. Remove any remaining adhesive from the back of the mirror glass, warm the frame, and gently press the new mirror glass in place, allowing it to cool before driving. For 1995 and later power mirrors, push at the top of the mirror glass, pull the bottom to remove it from the housing, and install the new mirror by hooking the top onto the frame and pressing the sides and bottom into place.

  Q: How to diagnose and repair malfunctioning side view mirrors on Mazda 323?

  A:

  The power rear view mirrors are the ones that have two motors used to make them move: the first being used to move up and down and the other to move laterally. The control switch has a switch that diverts the voltage either to right or left side mirror. When the ignition key is in the ACC position roll the windows down, and use the mirror control switch that can control both mirrors in all the functions, listening to the sound of the electric motors. In case, the motors are audible, however, the mirror glass is not moved, the inner drive machine is probably faulty, and in this case, it is essential to take away the mirror and disassemble it to find out the problem. When no sound is heard through the motors use the Radio fuse located in the fuse box beneath the left side of the dash. In case the fuse is unbroken, detach the mirror control switch out of the dashboard and reach the back of the same, without disconnection of the electrical connector. Switch ON the ignition and test voltage to one terminal of the switch. In case there is no voltage, check the wiring harness of the fuse panel and the switch by looking at the harness either by short or open. In case of the presence of a voltage, remove the electrical connector of the switch and check on the continuity between certain terminals of the wiring harness. When there is no continuity, inspect the wiring and connectors to the power outside mirrors and replace, as needed. Lastly, ensure the continuity of all operating positions on the check of the mirror control switch, when it does not show continuity, it is necessary to replace it.
