Electric mirror wiring
« on: 29 June 2006, 12:11 »
Hi I have just purchased some heated electric mirrors and need some help with wiring them in. I need to know how to connect them to the fuse box. I assume they will wire into there, i've got the original loom but no relay do I need 1? This is a pic of the connector that I assume should plug into the fusebox


At the same point on the loom I also have these wires any ideas? Why is the white green one cut?


And finally I assume all these wires should be connected this is in the part leading up to the switch!


Any help is greatly appreciated :smiley:

Here you go:

The brown wire goes to the earth 'claw' near the gearbox, the black/yellow wire goes to an ign live source, and the Green/white wire needs to be spliced into the heated rear screen feed somewhere.

Forget all the other wires, they are to do with plugging into the cl/leccy window loom.

Edit:
blk/yel = fusebox D/11
wht/grn = fusebox K/12

Just wanted to check 1 thing, behind my fuse box there appears to be a few 'spare' female earth connectors could I attach the brown earth to here?

Them connectors are most likeley to be live wires so check them before using them!

If the wires are brown they're earth points.  If not then they arn't!  But there is a special earth 'claw' for the purpose, its a metal bracket with a load of spade terminals on it.  Has loads of brown wires running to it, cant miss it ;)
