Power mirrors

[twilightnisan]

Does anyone have a link to or know where I can get some sort of wiring diagram for a JDM power folding mirrors?

[Dragon240]

You really need a wiring diagram? It's all the same as the stock power mirros only exception is the folding part.. two wires.. easy. I can offer pictures if you need it...

wheres the pics?and its not the same as usdm cars, they dont have the wiring for the power folding part.

[ca18datsun510]

ok, its easy, i just put mine in.

match up the wires from the new switch to the old switch, there should be 2 left over. one green, one blue. notice that on the mirrors there are two wires extra, one green, one blue. match the greens from the switch to the greens on the mirrors, and blues to blues. bamn, your done with the wiring.

oh, and if you have power mirrors, you can take the glass and switch it in from your old mirrors, this way you can actually use them.

i never though of switching the glass! now i will be able to see outa of the passenger side of my car

Hey is it hard to swap out the glass form us to jdm folding ones.. Could anyone give me the run through?

[ca18datsun510]

switching the glass is easy, but that doesnt fix the problem. the mounting point of the mirror(the arm between the mirror body and the door) is angled different. if you hold them up together you will see what im talking about.

So ca18 how do you attain a perfect swap of sideviews.. Many have done it I'm sure.. I don't care how intricate , if you have the run through I'll really appreciate it. If you know what I mean. .. Haha hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa.. No but really can you help?

i've got a set of US power mirrors disected in my room right now, and looking at it, you should be able to pop the glass off the motor assy. That will leave the black plate attached to the motor. Then you can just simply clip the US mirror back on. There should be no issues with angles after that.

The mirrors themselves are what cause angle distortions. That's why the passenger mirror will always show objects further away than what they really are. I just held up both a passenger and a driver mirror next to each other, and the driver mirror produced an image larger than the passenger mirror. Comparing the units side by side, the arm angle of the mirrors themselves are the same. So the static angle of the mirror shouldn't be a factor.

Sorry for comparing a set of USDM power mirrors to the JDM folding mirros, but I see no reason why they would be all too different aside from the extra motor assy.

[ca18datsun510]

nope your wrong.

the passenger side mirror is angled in more then the drivers side.that meaning, when you switch the glass you still have the same problem. you actually see more with the jdm passenger mirror glass on the us side, cause its convex, kinda like those little bubble mirrors on trucks. if anybody needs help, hit me up on aim chugger2k

if my internet connection didnt suck id post pics but oh well.

[ca18datsun510]

oh, and to remove the glass you have to take out that little philips head screw underneath it. the pull out on the bottom and push the glass up. it will come out, then you have to unplug the wiring plug. that exposes the screws that hold the mirror housing together.

i dont see how you have the mirrors disected without doing this, unless you just broke it apart.

[sidewaySilvia]

So ca18 what is your solution to angle probs for the jdm flappers

[ca18datsun510]

take the jdm motors, put them in the usdm mirrors. you either have to pull the pin plug off or trim a small bit of metal, since the plug wont fit back through the hole where the wiring runs.

if you actually take them apart they are pretty simple.
