need help with jdm power folding mirrors

[project_240sx]

any one know how to wire the switch and all the extra wires? im confused and need help. i need them moving. thanks

[g6civcx]

Can you find a wiring diagram?

[180sxdrifter]

it should be a bolt on thing, the only extra wires is a blue and green wire that needs to be wired to the switch for it to fold

[project_240sx]

there is like 3 extra wires i dont know what to do with, should i just run the three wires to my switch and hope that it works?

[180sxdrifter]

what are the colors?

[project_240sx]

wires left over are solid green, solid blue, and blue with pink strip across.

connect the blue and green wires as for the extra one im pretty sure that connects to the switch too the only extra i had was a gray wire fromt he switch which i assumed ground but in s14s i found out theres switch option for heat in the SR20DE models

[project_240sx]

so should i just leave that one??

[project_240sx]

and anyone got any ideas how i should go about wiring these wires through my door to the center console?

yea trial and error dude go for it worse case scenario u break the mirror fuse which is a quick ez fix too

Those are not folding mirrors if you have those colors. Folding mirror wires are green/black and light green/black for both S13 and S14.

Russ is always right! haha

To elaborate more, the folding section is only two wires, in and out, they're reversal rest at ground through the switch, just like a window or door lock motor. The mirror itself should have yellow, blue, and pink for adjustment. If you don't have any of these wires you may not even have an Schassis mirror, I know the Primera/G20 units will fit with a little work but do not use the same color wiring and R32 units work on S13s as well. Take a picture of the plugs for reference.

To elaborate a little more, reversal rest at ground means you have 2 wires coming out of the motor and hooked up to the switch. At rest, both these wires are grounded. When you move the switch one way, one wire will read +12V while the other is grounded. When you move the switch the other way, the opposite wire shows +12V and the other one is grounded.

This way, current can flow through to the motor, and depending on which position the switch is in, the corresponding wire will be +12V and grounded through the other wire. I don't know the wire colours specifically, but they both should go to the switch. You don't need to ground them. Just hook them up the right way to the switch.

hey, i know this has been up for a bit...well 2 weeks, but i had one more question for you. say i feed one wire +12 and the other ground, and they start to open(which they do open). but im just wondering, when its all the way open, can i just leave the wires connected, or do i have to somehow disconnect the wires? i dont have the switch so i need to make my own with relays but i was just curious if i can leave them connected to +12 when they have finished openning or closing.

thanks

the mirrors have a little protection circuit which cuts the power when the load goes high (as in the mirror is either full open or closed), you could leave it powered but its best not to.

if you have no switch you can do the honda mirror controller mod (this also allows the mirrors to fold with the alarm)

see www.sxoc.com for the honda mirror guide that i wrote.

You can use just about any switch you can find. Most of them work the same way.
