About to install power folding side mirrors. They have built-in turn signals too.

1) What's the best/easiest way to run wires from the door to the body?
2) Where to tap for power?
3) Which wires and where to tap for turn signals?

Car is SE 03. Thx!

Dr J

 

you have to take off your door panels to run the wires
power tap, id have to look at the wiring diagram..
its not hard to find the blinker light circuit by tracing wires

i may be of more help tomorrow its 2am lol

 

I think I'm gonna go for the blinker wires @ the ecu.
Right: Green/Yellow wire
Left: Green/Black

I just found out there's some 'puddle' lights on there too, which the client wants connected to the dome circuit. What section of the FSM is that located in?

Dr J

 

EL, 'Spot, Vanity Mirror', etc.

 

umm why not just take it from your hazard light switch thats what i did.. much safer than messing around with the ECU harness...

 

just find the blinker light circuit, and splice into it...thats what i did when i installed the blinker mirrors

 

hazard light switch? Does that mean the mirror lights would blink only when the hazards are on? I'm confused. Sorry!

 

That's probably the route I'm going


Pmohr, u rock! Thanks! Vanity, that's what they call it huh? Weird.

 

No there is a wire for the left signal and also for the right signal... its easy to get to just how if you unplug the hazard switch no blinkers will work.. You can power the signals from there all u need is a test light to see which wire gets power for the left signal and the right signal it is pretty straight forward..

 

I just looked in the FSM and I see what you mean. Damn, almost too easy! Sweet! thanx for the help guys.

 

curious as to where you got the mirrors.
