Powerfold mirrors

[Mr Wullie]

Have you checked your own wiring to see if you already have the necessary wires?

MOV only needed the 1 wire to send the power across in his car.

No I haven’t I’ll have a look over the weekend and see what’s what.

The cut plugs you received are the same as mine & I know what you mean about the mirror plug connectors being different to the pins in the mirror. My looms came of a 10 plate preface lift elite, numbers are different.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes the plugs came on the mirrors when I bought them. The looms are supposed to have come off an 11 plate elite.
If possible can you post the part numbers of the looms you have.
Also are pins 7 & 8 populated in the door connector.

Just so I can go back to the seller and see what’s what I suppose worst case I can use the wiring and connections if need be to modify my looms.

I don't think the wiring position is all that critical from the looms. You should just de-pin some connections and make up your own loom and insert into the correct locations in your car.

Nothing in slots 7 & 8 of the door plugs (the one with the pink retainer clip)

As it has come from an elite the wiring is different.

You can just de-pin some connectors and insert them into the correct slots into your car and bobs your uncle.

I'm no good with the diagram you posted �� for which wire goes where. I'd just strip these down and only add the neccassary one's.

[Lewish]

Supposed to be. Looms, mirrors and switch. I'm no good with the diagram you posted �� for which wire goes where

If the switch is from an elite the switch might not work.

The wires will be in a different position as it has memory functions.

If you take out some wires from the plugs youll be able to make the looms yourself.

I have given you the correct pin locations for when you need to insert the wires

[DaveT]

You did kindly post the relevant pin locations. �� but which goes to what I'm no good with that wiring diagram.

[Lewish]

If you google it there is a guide for an astra I think. Pretty much the same.

Ahh right I see it’s beginning to make sense now.
I had thought the elite looms were needed and were wired correctly to just plug and play.
That’s where I’ve been getting confused.
On my last car when I retro fitted you did need the power fold looms.

[DaveT]

Me to, so used to playing with Mondeos and on the preface lift Mondeos you just swapped the full door looms over from a facelift, added mirrors and plugged in the brown relay if the holder was there if it wasn't a few more wires were needed. Easy.

Yeah, VX don't make it easy. Just remember you need a non memory seat switch for your car

[DaveT]

It certainly doesnt look that way. I Will do, that part number you quoted came in at £14 plus vat from the dealership, so not bad at all. Cheers for that
