Side mirror wiring

Nova2013 · Post by **Nova2013** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 2:47 am

Hello All. My passenger side mirror (US) isn’t working and I tried to make sense of the wiring diagram in the TIS manual. Yeh right. Anyway, I have three wires to the motor. Red, brown, green. Red gets power when I push the switch up but no other time. However, the motor doesn’t work despite power to the motor. So, I know the motor is bad.

Questions: I assume I should get power on the red wire when I press the switch in any direction. Can someone confirm? What are the green and brown wires? I assume negative and ground but I’m not 100% sure.

Thanks again. I attached a picture of the plug for clarification.

Could one wire be to fold out one to fold in and the other ground

My mirrors do not fold. The wiring harness could be “generic” to accommodate foldiNg mirrors though.

Update... new motor... nothing. Found a switch at a salvage yard. Trying that tomorrow.
