jdm SIDEMIRROR wiring INFO, attention NEVERSTOP, CTCAT2049 Options

[Batman722]

I used the JDM mirrors and not my US ones. I did swap the glass though.

My JDM control unit didn't come with the harness out the back so I didn't bother trying to fabricate one so a toggle was the best way. Plus it was less splicing.

I thought about doing it the antenna way but when my radio is off my antenna goes down. Plus I already put an external switch for my antenna to put it down when I am playing CDs. When I am on the phone I usually turn the radio off too and the mirrors would fold in. No good for me.

I am thinking about getting a window up/down module for my alarm and wiring that to the mirrors. Arm the alarm, mirrors fold in, disarm, return to normal. That will be when there is better weather. It was freakin cold today

Anyone know where the window relay is located on the car ?

[NEVERSTOP]

how did the mirror swap go for you batman? mainly interested in the driverside.. I actually think mine is at a worse angle now... pass is kickass though

edit: also how much u guys want for the USDM control unit?? and does neone have a spare driver side motor? mines bad

edit 2x:

I first had a prob with the pass side angle way off. Then I adjusted the glass on both sides so when I fully unfold I have a good angle all around. I just played with it until the angle was right. I freakin love them.

PM me about the switch. It doesn't have the harness out the back and I don't know if it works. I didn't want to take any chances and use something I couldn't test.

opps about the antenna. I installed mine myself with no relay. You GT guys get all the toys stock

bueller, farris. bueller........ anyone ..... anyone ?

[Batman722]

my best guess would be under the fuse box to the left of the pedals. Does is really matter where you put the relay anyway ? put it next to the relay for the power antenna.

any updates from anyone else ?????

I've just looked at the wiring diagram and I'm guessing that no-one knows where the relay is.....cos there isn't one!

All the circuitry is inside the switch panel on the driver's door.

allright i got ahold of some jdm folding mirrors. their from a 97 celica and i was told that the 97's didn't come with a relay and tha the switch reverses the polarity of the to two wires when the switch is pressed, so that means its meant for driving the mirrors directly. am i supposed to have a relay with this setup. when the guy took em out he couldn't hear the relay clicking and therefore could not find one. he has taken folding mirrors out of hondas and older toyotas so he knows what he is doing. can anyone back this up?? before i send payment

[Defgeph]

no relay needed just the mirrors

DEF

[rjbibeau]

sweet deal!! thans def

[Batman722]

way to resurrect an old thread. Only the mirrors are needed. Anyone else got these installed other than me ...?

there is some good info in that link. If you have a UK or JDM Celica then it is plug and play.

[CelicaZR]

hey Batman722
For the control unit
Mine doesnt match the one on that site
I've got a

pink - ?
gray - power
light green/black
light green - right horizontal
light green/red - Common feed
white black - Chassis
white/brown - left horizontal
yellow/brown - left vertical

Are these right so far?
What about the pink one

OK the pink wire I believe went to the relay. It was unclear what years had the relay and what years didn't. The relay was built into the control unit like the one pictured in that link. The mirrors have the same wires comming form them, all years. My personal advice, get the different control unit and plug and play.

[CelicaZR]

Man those control unit are hard to come by.
Plus I like my control unit, it's the nice looking one.
Not the one with the square retract button.
Boy I thought it would have been easy to install,
but guess I was wrong

[Outsider]

Mine have been in for a while now. They work great. I never used a relay. It took me a saturday afternoon to put them in.( I took my time)
