Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror - Wire Colours!
Bought an auto-dimming rear view mirror from our sponsors quite some time ago, and finally decided to investigate fitting it. Had a look at my existing mirror and the connector type it has. That leaves me with a small 6-pin connector with six wires. I've read through this other thread:
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1100 but the colours of the wires are completely different. I've also printed out the relevant section from Elsa showing the wiring diagram and the colours listed in that are also different. This is the colours I have on the plug: 1 - Pink 2 - Black 3 - Orange 4 - Red/White 5 - Black/White 6 - Blue/White Elsa shows the colours as: 1 - Black/Blue - Positive connection 2 - Brown - Earth connection 3 - Blue/Red - Reverse 4 - Red - Mirror motor 5 - Brown/Red - Mirror motor 6 - Red/Green - Front interior light and front reading lights Going by the Elsa diagram, it looks like pins 1 and 2 are the ones to use, so I'll jury-rig that up to see if it works. Not worried about the other features. Rather than just splicing the wires directly, can anyone identify the other plug type that I would need?
