Re: Retracting mirror retrofit

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I have a jdm import and have been trying to retrofit my folding mirrors.
I have the new looms, mirror control module and door switch installed but nothing happening.
The mirrors do not fold and won't adjust, am I missing something or can anybody help

Thanks jimi, I found part of the problem, repaired the wires and can now adjust both mirrors however the retract function is not working.

All you can do is use a voltmeter and a circuit drawing to check that your getting voltage where and when you need it. I've zipped all the info (circuits etc) I have on the folding mirrors, you can download it from here if it's of any use to you https://www.mr2oc.co.uk/download-cats/d ... rrors.html.

Just thought I'd post back, fuse ecu-b was blown and also a short in a wire in the passenger mirror.
All working now
