i wanna have this hooked up or semi hooked up by tomorw... how would it work?? i cant use my jdm miror button??? just cut it out n use the wires? whats a DPDT switch???

[galantv600]

well guys, adn girls... anyways, i went to Lowes(home depot competition) Radio Shack and Autozone and no one had what i needed atleast i think.. well radio shack MIGHT... the lowes and autozone guys told me no we dont, and then at autozone i found some kind of switch and he told me its fry and burn everything... at radioshack they had a lot of different ones but none were like i wanted... i have 3 wires left that i have to hook up from mirrors.. are all 3 for the power folding or one for the heating and what not???? HELP!

[pinoyesv6]

what have u hooked up already and is already functioning? are your mirrors heated?

[galantv600]

well, i have the right left up and down hooked up.. i dunno what else the 3 other are.. arpparently dad says my mirrors werfe heated so one of those isnt useful.. then the other two... how would i hook them up and to what kinda switch?

[pinoyesv6]

[galantv600]

3 wires going to up down side to side... and i have an orange a green and two black wires left... hooked both black with a negative to car battery, and red to all and nothing would happen :? nebody know or have ne ideas?

[GOOSEY2099]

Green and orange is for folding, give them power and they will fold and if they don't then reverse the power.

you don't have those wires just twisted and taped right?

if so, atleast use a connector and crimp them... otherwise, w/ a loose tape job such as that, hella easy for moisture to get in there... or heck, sauder them together to be even better 8)

[galantv600]

they are saudered and then have electrical tape protecting em :twisted:

[quicksilver22]

ah good, lol, just make sure that tape is tight anyways. lol

[galantv600]

so this DPDT switch is just a simple 2 way toggle switch... press one side and opens press the other and it closes....? now how do i get power to the button and to the mirrors :? thats were i get confused completely


yesterday at Radio Shack they had this one

and here is a great Electricity Tutorial for ya if you need it http://www.1728.com/project2.htm ('http://www.1728.com/project2.htm')

and another site for the visuals on the switches.

The green-red wire is for the heat, so you will not need those wires anymore.

[galantv600]

well guys got it working.. went to the shop they drew a diagram.. farely esy! but its a HUGE button.. mabe someday ill get a smaller one.. other than that, just gotta find a way to power them... ran to battery everything works, so now all i need is that damn electricity capability... im thinking somewhere in my triple gauge pod... 8) or anywhere else someone can think of.. button is under my steering wheel/under the mirror adjustment and fog button

Okay, so say I have manual mirrors and I want to install these onto my 03 G, would I have to run all those wires on my own, or would there be some sort of harness I can buy to get them to work with my DE (NO power mirrors). The reason I'm asking is because I wouldn't know where the origional factory wires were spliced/plugged into but if its feasable I wouldn't have too big of a problem doing it on my own. I just need to know if it can be done before I start tracing wires and wasting my time. And if not with the power folding JDMs, then can it be done with regular factory USDMs just swapping the harness over with them. I want to get rid of the stick-controlled, non-luxury looking shits that I have on my G now. :? And I think those JDMs look pretty sweet being able to fold in like that. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif
