Hey i just got some power spoon mirror and the wire to the mirror doesn't match up to the wire in the car so i was wondering if someone had this issue before and if they know what wires i should re wire the mirror to

Much Appreciate

what I'd do, is hook that bish up to a car battery, black wire to ground, then I'd individually touch each of the other wires to positive and see what they do. mark each one with some masking tape with up, down, left, right. then, crack open the helms manual and look at the wiring for the stock mirror, and match that isht up.

oh really? this from your many years of experience wiring things?

Tego

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about.

i only say this because there isn't one wire for every movement of the mirror... i've looked at it before when i tried to hook mine up... there is only three wires in total coming from the mirror.. so its kinda hard to fiqure it out.... i don't know **** about wiring..... but i've tried to hook up my power mirrors once and its not that simple..... **** i wish it was..

ok so JDMman how did you get yours to work?? can you tell me how you did it?? i'll try both ways....but i have a question..if i just start pluging wires together would i blow a fuse??

imported_Midori

nah you will just get the wrong movement... I hooked up my power mirror through trial and error too.. I even had the power folding and heating option to figure out on top of that...

how many wires are comming out of the spoon mirror ?

imported_Pyro

4 wires

1 black
1 blue
1 white
1 brown

but i think theres like 6 wires for my stock mirrors
or 6 slots but the spoon only has 4..weirdd

imported_JDMman

i havn't gotten them to work yet... lol

Like JDMman said earlier there is only three wires that are used for power mirrors therefore the black must be a ground and the other are (+/ movement...) just ground the one wire and fidel with the others..

there are actually 8 wire holes in that black plug 2x4

a 12volt drill battery is your best friend for this kinda of stuff.

the first 3 on the bottom left are power mirrors (drivers side) passenger side would be the first 3 on he bottom right.

JDMman if you need a hand with your mirrors I have a lot of experience with that particulat harness.. Let me know what you have and ill tell you what you are missing to make it work.

you should have
1 green harness that plugs into the back of your fuse panel and to the switch.. if you don t have this you can use one from any honda/acura that has this option. the easiest is an old accord EXR
1 switch
2 power mirrors
2 door harness with the necesary wireing that you need

this entire system is external from anyother wireing system and requires its own ground.

it has extra slots for lucky guys like me with heated mirrors.

I had to wire my mirrors from scratch, my car wasn't wired for power anything.
