Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove the driver’s side view mirror on this 2005 Cadillac CTS. This information is going to be very similar for the passenger's side. Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Using a flat blade screwdriver, we wrap it in some tape here to keep it from scoring the interior. We want to pry out on this trim panel around the door handle. Release this little tab on the connector at the top. Remove that connector from the door lock switch. Using that same screwdriver, I'm going to pop out this cover underneath the interior door handle here so we can access these two Phillips-head screws. Remove these two Phillips-head screws with a number 3 screwdriver. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pop out this tab on the door lock and remove it from the door lock rod. Simply pull out on the panel now and release it from the door.
Disconnect these two connectors from the front door module. Feed them back through the harness here to get them out of the way. Using the flat blade screwdriver, pop this harness retainer out of the door. Remove these three 10mm nuts from the inside of the door. Be sure to support the mirror when you remove the last nut. Carefully work the mirror out of the door, feed the harness through the hole, and your mirror is out.
Feed the wiring harness through the center hole, line up your bolt, and pull the harness through to seat the rubber boot. Start your three 10mm nuts and tighten them down with a socket and ratchet. Snap the harness retainer into place, run the wires behind this harness to the left of the speaker. Reconnect the connector to the front door module.
Be sure to align the connector here in the door panel and line it up. Make sure that the door lock rod is pulled up. Snap all the retainers back into place. Install the door lock pull, pop it back in. Reinstall the two Phillips-head screws behind the door handle. Snap the plastic cover back into place. Reinstall the connector for the door lock switch. Pull out on the door handle, set the trim on, and snap it in.
