power folding LED turn signal wiring diagram help

[bleachigo]

Hey everyone.Just wanted to know if anyone here can tell me where to find any sort of wiring diagram for my power folding turn signal mirrors.I've used the search function and read some threads but none of them have really specific wiring walkthroughs and parts that i need for a DIY.Also the search function gets unreliable sometimes when i throw a bunch of words to search.Anyways,I know njerald has the same available functions on the mirrors that i have(not sure if he got it at the same place)so i will pm him also if he could help me.Any sort of help from anyone else is appreciated.Thanks guys.

Do you have factory heated mirrors now?

Do you want to put a switch in for the fold function?

Yes it is heated.I just need a good diagram of all the wiring and where it goes and parts to get to get it going.I saw your some of your post when you got yours and i think you had a hard time with the people where you bought the mirror where they didn't provide any diagram and connectors and things like that.That's what i'm going through right now.I am trying to contact them but these people are unresponsive.And yes i do want to install a switch.

It is very easy to identify the wires and function examining the mirror.

After identifying , it is easy to check all functions except heat using a 9v, 12v, 15v battery from a hand power tool.

Mine were:

Heat = Black-white and Black-white

LED = Purple and Black

Horizontal = Red and Brown (as a common)

Vertical = Blue (uses brown above as a common)

Fold = White and Grey

I have no idea what yours are. If you installed the covers without tracing, testing and identifying wire colors, good luck............

I cut off the new mirror connectors and added 9 pin radio shack connecors for removing the mirror if needed in the future.

You have to run 4 wires behind the instrument panel from the left kick panel area to the right hand mirror signal and fold functions.

Tie into the right and left turn signal wiring in the left kick panel.

Run power to the switch and auto fold wiring from both mirrors to the switch.

Figure out all existing wire colors (mirrors, turn signal, power tie in)connectors and locations ahead of time.

I did my diagram in my head and checked every connection and function as I went.

Have fun.

Thanks.I will try what you suggested.I was also thinking of auto fold when turning car off and auto fold when turning car on.What do you think is needed for that to happen?

I think it's a ridiculous setup but you could do it with relays........tie into a ignition enabled power source.

If you plan to go with this option with the ignition, be sure to set to the power off mechanism. So once you open the doors, everything will power off ASAP.

PS: Njerald is "tha man" !

If you have to drive in or out of a tight place/garage, you want the mirrors folded when the car is moving.................................maybe it's not an obvious concept to you.

Been busy with work so haven't wired up the mirrors but all the wiring colors are exactly as yours,njerald.Now just got to look which wires are for the turn signals.As for the supplies,i "borrowed" some 6 pin and 4 pin molex connectors,and some male and female terminals and a few feet of 22 gauge wires(it pays to work at an electronic manufacturing company sometimes)
