[Mk2] [Generic] Fitting Power Folding Mirrors

Post by SteveH »

Right,

Picked up a set of these recently and didnt get the door loom with them. So know i have the door switches (inluding retract button) and power folding mirrors but no wiring.

Is this hard to wire up? does the extra wire from the door switches go far into the car before headin back to the mirrors?

My normal electric mirrors have 3 wires going in where these ones have 7!!

Can anyone please help, it took me ages to find a pair of these!!

Is your car UK or an import?

If you've got an import then I strongly suggest you get the door looms.
There's a guide in the Knowledge Base by ChrisW for this.

If you've got a UK car then it's easier with the existing door loom and just buy some wire for the extra 4 connections.
