Sandy-m2 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 So a while back I had my mirror kicked off my car, was pissed off then but am over that now. In an effort to try and replace the mirror I contacted the normal people and posted on here looking for a spare. It turns out its quite hard to get one of the electic folding ones, but eventually a users say he has one, I pay him and he sells me the set (wanted the set gone). They arrive in good time and i fit it to my car, its not a folding one! Grrrr So I bump the thread and say I still need one and eventually again I get one, now this time the mirror has a different connection on it so i cant plug it in. Its definatly a Flip one but its no good to me!!!!! Can anyone identify what is with the different connections? I have posted pics, the black mirror is the same conneciton as my car but the red one itsn't???? Someone please help as i'm ready to bring the shotgun into work and take out my entire office (well maybe not that bad!)Plus I'm down about £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Maybe the red one is heated and not folding? I'm just speculating though, I'm sure someone will be along to clarify soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have just taken my old mirror apart as i was going to steal the plug of it and it looks like this isnt the first time this has happened! The wires are only taped together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have come across this on MR2's folding ones have longer connectors with extra pins. You should be able to re pin the new one with the connector of your old one as long as you know the pinouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Cut the end off and joined the connection from the broken mirror, all working. just needs sprayed now. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
