Right Power Mirror Motor/Actuator - 1991 300ZX Z32

The right side power mirror motor for the 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX (Z32 platform) resides within the passenger-side mirror housing, controlling horizontal and vertical glass adjustment via a small DC motor and nylon geartrain. While Nissan cataloged this actuator as 96302-40P01 (later superseded by 96302-40P02), junkyard identification often relies on supplier casting marks—typically DENSO or Ichikoh codes stamped into the plastic housing—which survive longer than OEM stickers. This motor interchanges across all VG30DETT and VG30DE model years 1990-1996, though 1994-1996 production occasionally features gray connector housings versus black on earlier cars; electrically they remain identical. Test by applying 12V directly to the three-wire pigtail to check for stripped gears, the most common failure mode. Installation requires prying the mirror glass to access three Phillips screws securing the actuator to the mirror shell. Verify the triangular mounting pad isn't cracked before purchase.
