Outside rear view mirror

[jonlabree]

Has anyone had their outside rear view mirror apart?

Taken a broken mirror off to replace it?

There are two wires attached to the backside of the mirror mount, can anyone tell me what they are for?

Jon...

I have never replaced one so I can't help there. Could the wires be for the power mirror?

Which, by the way, only works when the rear window defogger is on. And, it has its' own 10 amp fuse. Fuse 1 on the interior relay center. (Page 8A-61-0 in the '88 FSM.) Which, you have to remove the passenger side carpeting panel of the center console to gain access to. It is below and to the left of the little 4"x5" access door for the other twenty-five or so fuses and circuit breakers that are on the interior fuse panel. FYI.
