MK2 Electric mirrors fitting How to
« on: 01 October 2012, 09:40 »
Guys ihave finally got hold ofa complete set up the loom and switches etc.

So now i need some help on how to fit it? does anyone know or has anyone fitted any?

Where is the live, ground pluged into and how can i do it so that it only works when the ignition is turned on? or has people fitted it so it works even when the car is off, surely the battery will die this way too?

Cheers

I'm guessing at this, but is your loom similar to the electric window one? That has a relay, switches, wires to the motors and three wires to connect to the fusebox. A live, and earth and and ignition live that energises the relay.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Sengh IIRC you have an earth (brown), a live (yellow black) and a heater (white/green)

You need to drill out the rivets for the manual adjuster brackets and bin them.
3 phillips head screws behind the door cover for the mirror. Fit leccy mirrors in, feed the wiring through and thats the hardest bit done.

Find any ignition live at the back of the fuse box. I think I tapped into a spare plug laying around but if you don't have a multi meter I wouldn't chance it.

Earth goes on the earth plate near pedals,
