  Q: How to synchronize the exterior Mirror Actuator motors on Ford Expedition?

  A:

  A synchronization step should be performed whenever someone manually operates power folding mirrors or positions the mirror case by hand without using the switch. A continuous operation of the power folding mirrors for 6 to 10 cycles activates power lockout for 2 minutes to protect the power fold motors before the system restores normal functionality. Put the mirror control switch into its midpoint position as the first step. Synchronization may require powershifting the mirrors in and out four times from their stored position. To operate the power folding mirrors automatically through four cycles users should push the mirror control switch to the rear position. Listening to a popping sound indicates that power folding mirror motors have successfully synchronized.

  Q: How to service the Mirror Actuator on Ford Expedition?

  A:

  Service of the power mirror motor requires you to start by extracting the mirror glass. The exterior mirror motor maintains its position through three screws which should be removed before you detach the motor from its assembly after disconnecting electrical connectors. Perform installation by following the reverse procedures of removal. Power folding mirrors operating vehicles need synchronization before continuing after either folding or unfolding the mirrors regardless of the mirror control switch usage. Review the Exterior Mirror Motor Synchronization - Power Folding for synchronization details before implementing the programming and relearning steps in the testing and inspection procedures.
