power/folding mirror question

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a photo of a power/folding mirror plug?

I'm confused, they say power/folding mirrors have 7 wires (9 pin plug?) but I've seen people selling 'folding mirrors' here and they were 5 wires... I also read you can't have heated AND power/folding mirrors. If a heated mirror has 5 wires, then what are the other 2 wires (on the 7 wire folding one) for, if they are not heated?

Thanks

My supra came with push folds.

I fitted powerfolds with the oem switch and retrofitted the heated glass to them and used the original wiring the car had. I had to add wiring for the powerfold option. All doable.

I just expanded on my question but thanks for replying. Is it a big hassle to wire them into a standard loom? I did this conversion with a JDM MR2 once. Got the looms, switch, relay?...and the power mirrors. Everything just fell into place. Best mod ever and I miss not having it on this car.

Not a big hastle. You will have to add 2 wires on each door loom, pink and orange to go to the switch, theb a earth wire for the switch and a power source. Mines fed of ignition so i fold in and out when i want like oem. You could wire into the central locking so they fold when you lock and unlock the car but i didnt go that route

So if you have a Pink and Orange wire coming out of your mirror to the 5 pin plug, does that mean it's a Folding mirror?

There's physically no way to tells what's what...

And still, there's threads saying you can ONLY have 1 function but there are 9 pin plug out there with alleged 7 wires..which should have both?
