I pulled the passenge side mirror off of my parts car (89 Loyale sedan) today to put on my wife's wagon (90 Loyale). It is a power mirror whereas hers were manual, but her passenger side mirror was broken so I figured what the heck. I had considered trying to install power mirrors on her car, but I figured the wiring would be a nightmare. Imagine my surprise when I pulled her mirror off and found a plug for a power mirror just hanging there. Not being one to get my hopes up for no good reason, I figured that there was no way that there would be one in the dash behind the cutout for the switch, and if there was one there was no way it would actually work. I pulled the cutout and sure enough there was the plug for the switch. Plugged in the switch and turned on the ignition and viola, power windows. Naturally I went ahead and did the driver's side too. Makes you wonder why subaru was too tight to go ahead and throw in 2 power mirrors and a switch in the first place.

 

I think the parts car has power locks too, but if it does, they don't work at present. Anyone know if the power locks were standard on cars with power windows or not? There is some wiring that runs to a box below the lock mechanisms on the doors and a little rod that runs from that box up to the lock, but I don't know if those are actuators or just a switch to let you know the doors are unlocked. It does let you know if the doors are unlocked, whether they're power locks or not.

hello,

am new to the excitment of a subaru; i just pickup a 87 gl wgn 4x4 excellent shape! i like to know where to find the fuse for the electric mirrors?

I can't say 100% for sure, but I'm going to venture a guess here and say the fuse block.

well, i found it, but the mirrors still don't work; since the fuse is ok, i'll replace the switch. tanxs
