JDM folding mirror wiring????

Recommended Posts

Hey there everyone... well I just got in my power folding mirrors and removed everything from the casing and figured out the wiring on the mirror side.. the problem now is figureing out the wiring on the switch side. I have looked threw a lot of forums(here and the aussi one) and came up short for a diagram telling me what those 4 wires go to on the back of the switch. The colors that I have are

White/black

Orange

Blue/red

Grey

So if ANYONE out there has maybe done this conversion I sure could use a little help with that wiring. I know that two wires have to go to the fold action of the mirrors and the other two maybe power and ground??? Either way just looking for a little guidence. Thanks again everyone.

hi, i can sort wiring diagram and colour codes for you. but you will have to wait until friday night/ saturday morning as i work nights and dont have the time now to sort, i have a facelift surpa which has folding mirrors that i converted to fold in when i arm the car, then fold out when i turn on the ignition, i can show how if you want, regards chris

sorry i did'nt back to you as my other half brought another car at the weekend and i had to go with her to pick it up, i will post info on mirrors, i had a quick look to see if i had kept a record of the colour codes, i didnt , because folding mirrors are not in the wiring diagrams that i have, so i will take car apart today and post if i have the time today. i work nights and leave for work at 5pm i am writing this at 2:30 am, (got finished early) when you should be sleeping or shagging, regards chris.

hi, sorry its been so long as got caught up with work,

anyway i striped dash to check wiring to see colour codes,

 

white/black = negative

blue/red=live with acc/ignition on

 

orange/silver dashes live to extend mirror

grey neg to extend mirror

 

orange/silver dashes neg to fold mirrors in

grey live to fold mirrors in

 

what i also done was connect my alarm to a relay that flipped the orange/silver and grey wires so mirror folded in but leaving the switch in the extended position, so that when i disarmed car, turned on ignition the mirrors extended, if this is not clear its easier for me to send a drawing of how i wired up the relay, regards chris
