2008 TL TYPE S Side mirror wiring

I am replacing a broken passenger mirror and actuator. I received the new parts however I do not know the order in which the 4 wires (Orange, Pink, Yellow, Yellow) plug into the back of the actuator. I have not had any luck searching the forums or attempting to download a wiring diagram so far.

It seems normally this would not come unattached here, and would be unplugged further down inside the door. So most people don't need to know this order.

Either way they have flat connectors on the end and slide right into the new actuator... I just don't know the order they go and I am not sure if putting in the wrong way would mess anything up while testing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I can upload pictures if needed. I notice markings on the OEM actuator labeled A,B,C,D where the wires went in, would be nice if they wrote the color instead

Where are you referencing? I am thinking last ditch effort, I can take apart the driver side mirror and see if it gives any estimate how to reconnect passenger side.

since, I'm not sure..i'm merely throwing out ideas.

your "comparing the driver side" idea sounds great!

Got the drivers side apart.. fortunately it is the same colors. So I am in a better place now at least.. still going to be a coin toss on the matching yellows. No white stripe on anything I can see. If I am successful, I will post up the order for future head scratchers.

A = Orange B = Yellow C= Yellow D= Pink

The two yellows do not have any markings I can see that distinguish which is which. Just connect them one way, and test. It controls up and down actions... So if your switch results in inverted movement.. just swap the two yellows.
