Do the switches that control for the side view mirrors have a grounding wire? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Fri Dec 28 14:50 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Hello All,

The side view mirrows don't work intermittently, and also the defrost function on the driver's side side view mirrow doesn't work either. Could all this be caused by a grounding wire not properly grounded? I've replaced the center console control panel that contains all the switches for the side view mirrors and the individual door windows, and I don't recall seeing a specific grounding wire. There was just a bunch of wires that attached to a harness that in turn "snapped" into the control panel. That's my recollection.

Is there a dedicated grounding wire attached to this control panel? If there is, I'd like to look for it before I go ordering a new control panel needlessly. Thanks to all who respond to my inquiry.

Hugh
