Power Folding Mirror HELP wiring

Does anyone have experience with the rewiring of the power folding mirror button? Please PM with some information. All other features work but the power folding switch doesn't work. Thanks!

I got power folding mirrors from Japan in replacement of the US ones. They are pretty rare but I'm having trouble with the rewiring. I didn't want to short anything or burn the switch. Looking for help if anyone has done this install before.

It's simple dude, the hardest part will be swapping the mirrors from the US ones over to the JDM ones without breaking the clips on the JDM motor.

The wires should just need a repin. Measure the voltage if you want to be absolutely sure. You need a simple multimeter.

Take off the US side view mirror, take a picture of the wiring that comes out and post it. I can tell you what to test from there. Also take a pic of the connections coming from the JDM mirror.

The mirrors themselves will plug in and work (adjustment wise) the mirror glass will have to get swapped over from your USDM mirrors they still are going to look weird because of the angle but theres nothing you can do about it now the power fold feature you need 2wires coming from both mirrors going to the power fold mirror relay then the button taps into the relay folding them in

I haven't had time to open up the doors to take some picture for karanx7 to show the repin wiring. But I believe no relay is needed but I could be wrong also. Let me try to take some picture this weekend if time opens up. I would like to get the mirrors to fold.
