Abstract
An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror element supported by a mirror support of synthetic material. The mirror element is adjustable by a motor that is electrically operable to adjust the rearward field of view of the mirror element. A mirror support incorporates at least one electric strip conductor and provides an electrical connection to the motor. Preferably, the motor is mounted in an actuator module which supports the mirror element. The actuator module is mounted to the mirror support. Electrical connections between the mirror element, actuator module, and mirror support may be made by plug and socket connectors such as jack connectors. At least one of the jack connectors is preferably interconnected to the electric strip conductor.
