How to: JDM Power Folding Mirrors Rewire

**Cali** · 11-22-2005, 11:50 AM

this is assuming you have the jdm switch AND plug with wires coming out of it...

JDM Folding Power Mirrors:

Use the existing plug from the OEM mirrors. (The one that connects to the door…its obvious) cut all wires there but leave enough wire to splice JDM harness.

JDM Mirror harness OEM Plug harness
Blue <------> White
Yellow <------> Green
White <------> Blue

The other two wires out of the JDM mirror harness are for the folding function. You must run two new wires to switch.

JDM Mirror Harness NEW WIRE JDM Switch Harness
Green ------------ Brown
Orange ------------ Sky Blue

JDM Mirror Switch
Cut the wires from the OEM switch…leave enough to work with and splice as follows, starting from the OEM wires.

OEM Wires JDM Switch Harness
N/A <------> Green/white
N/A <------> Black/yellow
Black/silver stripe <------> Black/silver stripe
Blue/yellow <------> Orange/blue
Green/black <------> Orange/black
Orange/blue <------> Blue/yellow
Orange/black <------> Green/black
Orange/yellow <------> Red/yellow
Blue <------> Blue/silver stripe

Some corrections:

Mirror Switch wiring :

Green/white and Black/Yellow from the JDM switch are actually for Illumination. It works and lights up the switch. It uses the same color wires that are left on the oem wiring.

what happens if you got the module also? would it not be easier to use the module.

**Cali** · 11-22-2005, 12:36 PM

what do you mean by module?

**Dominicano** · 11-22-2005, 12:49 PM

I got the switch and the module that is under the dash from the JDM car they took it off. I will take some pics when i get home.

Since you don't have the module, I believe it give you the option to when you want your mirror to open and use what ever trigger, like when the car turns on, or when you disarm your alarm like that. So you don't have to do it manually all the time.

**Dominicano** · 11-22-2005, 01:05 PM

you should be able to use the relay module from a toyota or hondas since those are easier to find than mitsubishis. the honda one i believe is the most common, you just have to make sure you have the wiring diagram so that you know what to hook up where.

i'm going to see if this is close at all to the 7G jdm folding mirrors.......

**Dominicano** · 11-22-2005, 01:49 PM

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(pinoyesv6)</div><div class='quotemain'>relay module.</div>

Thats the name I was looking for

**GreyGoose01** · 11-22-2005, 02:03 PM

so eBay has these relay modules?

ok so eBay does have relay modules, but different kinds!
which one to get?

**pinoyesv6** · 11-22-2005, 02:14 PM

hey cali. do you have a pin diagram for the switch?

the reason i say that is that the 8g jdm mirror switch

looks like the 7g jdm mirror switch

and the 6g jdm mirror switch

so if the pin layouts are the same then they might just be the same exact switch which would make wiring the 7g and 6g cars almost as easy.

**Cali** · 12-01-2005, 12:20 PM

i might have pinout...i'll look for it today and get back.

**Kalamidad** · 12-14-2005, 05:53 PM

what's the model number for the 8g jdm power folding mirrors?

**peanotation** · 12-14-2005, 06:08 PM

i checked the 8G JDM wiring against my jdm mirrors, and not one wire matches up (color wise at least), so i guess it's completely different. if you have a pinout for the 8g that'd be awesome

**Bezzle** · 07-24-2006, 08:48 AM

i love dusting off old topics...i just figured out how to wire the 8G switch to a pair of 7G mirrors.ill draw out a wire layout diagram for it later.but heres a pic of the 8G relay module for further noob reference...
