YEHERIT Outside Mirror Drive Motor 6U5Z-17D696-C — Power Side View Motor with Reinforced Gears

YEHERIT 6U5Z-17D696-C is a replacement power side view mirror drive motor designed to restore adjustable, reliable mirror movement for compatible Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.

If your vehicle’s outside mirror no longer responds, moves erratically, or has worn gearing, this OE-style drive motor replaces the failed unit and returns smooth, stepped adjustment. Built from upgraded materials with reinforced gears, the motor is intended to resist corrosion and wear so you can re-position the mirror for safer maneuvering, lane changes and reverse visibility. The part fits a wide range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models and is supplied with installation notes to help optimize performance and life span.

Which cars does this drive motor fit?

This motor is engineered to match the electrical connector and mounting pattern used across many Ford, Lincoln and Mercury outside mirrors. Always confirm your vehicle year and mirror type before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Ford: F-150 (2004–2023), Explorer (2011–2023), Edge (2007–2014), Expedition (2003–2023), Mustang (2006–2024), Taurus (2008–2019), Taurus X (2008–2009), Fiesta (2011–2019), Escape (2007), Flex (2009–2019).

• Mercury: Mariner (2007), Sable (2008–2009).
• Check plug and mounting orientation; this motor replaces vehicles using the same connector and step-motor movement.

How does the motor improve mirror adjustment and reliability?

The YEHERIT drive motor uses strengthened internal gears and corrosion-resistant materials to deliver more consistent, stepwise movement and reduced wear compared with a failing factory motor. It returns the ability to fine-tune mirror angle for better sight lines and safer driving behavior.

• Upgraded strength gears for faster, stable tuning response.
• Corrosion-resistant construction to stand up to road dirt and moisture.
• Stepwise motion compatible with non-memory mirror regulators.
• Replaces worn or stuck motors that prevent correct mirror positioning.

What should I know about installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward for technicians or experienced DIYers who can access the mirror housing and disconnect the original motor connector. Following the included recommendations helps reduce noise and vibration and extends motor life.

• Lubricate the motor during installation to optimize running sound and longevity.
• Secure the mirror backing to the motor to prevent vibration while driving.
• Motor moves in discrete steps—large adjustments may require multiple switch operations.
• Note: this motor does not include memory position recall functionality.

How will I know when replacement is necessary?

Typical signs include sluggish or no response to mirror controls, grinding noises, or mirrors stopping between positions. If the mirror cannot lock into the correct angle or shows intermittent movement, replacing the drive motor is the practical next step.

• No movement or only partial movement from mirror switches.
• Noticeable grinding, clicking, or irregular stepping when adjusting mirrors.
• Mirror fails to hold position or vibrates excessively at speed.
• Corrosion or visible wear inside mirror housing around the motor area.
