Jeep Cherokee (XJ): General information
Power operated or power operated and heated outside
rear view mirrors are available factory-installed
options on this model. Refer to 8W-62 - Power Mirrors
in Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
descriptions and diagrams.
NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive
(LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this
model. Whenever required and feasible, the RHD
versions of affected vehicle components have been
constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.
While most of the illustrations used in this group
represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic and
service procedures outlined can generally be
applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule
have been clearly identified as LHD or RHD, if a
special illustration or procedure is required. The power operated or power operated and heated
outside rear view mirrors allow the driver to adjust
both outside mirrors electrically from the driver seat
position by operating a switch on the driver side
front door trim panel. The power mirrors receive battery
current through a fuse in the junction block, and
will only operate when the ignition switch is in the
On or Accessory positions.
The heated mirror option includes an electric heating
grid behind the mirror glass in each outside mirror,
which can clear the mirror glass of ice, snow, or
fog. The heating grid receives fused battery current
through the rear window defogger relay only when
the rear window defogger system is turned on. Refer
to Group 8N - Electrically Heated Systems for more
information on the rear window defogger system.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power mirror system. Refer to the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
power mirror system.Introduction
