psymon Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi guys. I have the folding mirrors switch on my soop.. Is it possible to hot wire these, so the switch is made when the ignition is urned off, save having to press the switch. My misses C4 does this, but I am not a auto sparkie.... Any help most appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprasport Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 trace the live from wing mirror, and find an ignition live from cigarette lighter or radio etc. and join them up, when you turn ignition off power will go off to mirrors.

Not as easy as that, as the mirrors use a live to push them out, and another live to pull them in again, hence the requirement for relays and the like. Not as simple as just wiring to a live.

Nick1980 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Just wondering, as the J specs either had folding OR heated mirrors, does anyone know if it's easy/possible to wire up heated ones to be able to fold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasport Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 sorry read that wrong thought we were talking heated mirrors, think it came from the hot wire doooooh you could still do it with one of the ariel lives, same theory behind that ignition on ariel up ignition off ariel down. the down/off live only becomes live for about 15 seconds when you turn ignition off, enough to fold mirrors in.

Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The above will not work, as the 2 wires to the motor require Live and Earth. It works the same way as the window motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
