Abstract:
1. An outer mirror device for a vehicle comprising: a mirror visor cover which covers a back surface of a mirror for rearward viewing to form a space between the mirror and the mirror visor cover; a mirror surface angle adjusting mechanism at which an electric motor, a rotating member rotating due to rotation of the electric motor, and a portion of a drive rod connected to the mirror and moving rectilinearly due to rotation of the rotating member, are accommodated in a first case, the mirror surface angle adjusting mechanism changing a mirror surface angle of the mirror by rectilinear movement of the drive rod; a control device having a second case which is connected to the first case within the space, and a control substrate which is accommodated within the second case and at which is provided a control circuit power-supplying the electric motor on a basis of an operation signal; a mirror surface angle detecting sensor disposed within the second case, and detecting one of a position of the drive rod and a rotational position of the rotating member, wherein one of said first and second cases includes a wall disposed between said mirror surface angle adjustment mechanism and said control device that includes an opening for accommodating an electrical connector having detachably connectible electrical terminals such that said electrical terminals are interconnected when said first and second cases are positioned adjacent to one another.
