Jeep Cherokee (XJ): General information

Introduction

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.

Power mirror system

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.
