I got this set or jdm mirrors and I knew I had to retire them. I though that I wouldn't be that hard to open my stock one an the jdm one and take it from there but the whose wiring is way different. Long story short has anyone tried wire those mirrors ? Is there a way to find the wiring diagram ? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advanced

 

Pictures of the mirrors and wiring would go a long in getting help.

 

I have once posted a wiring digram for JDM mirrors 94-96 but things are written in Japanese. A search is always your good friend. You need some who understand Japanese though.

Regarding a search function of the forum, it is not as smart as the Google search, I must add.

 

I will be taking Picts today
I know Ive been searching for past a week and I seen some but wiring is different . I will be up loading Picts today to let Ya see thanks

 

This the stock 11 wires <br/>





Jdm need to figure out what black/yellow lined wire and Orange wires are




Connected to this . What does this do ?

All other wires are pretty much figure out . The only ones that are questionable are those two ( Orange and black/yellow liked) if someone know what that metal piece is for and which is ground and power would be appreciated
Thanks

 

First of all for a wire diagram a year of the car is needed. And second why JDM? Just go to a wrecking yard or search for non JDM. Are the original mirrors no good?

 

I think he is talking about jdm power folding mirrors.

 

Yess hmmm I thou I put that on the title of the thread, I guess I didnt . My bad ..

 

That's what I was asking for if anyone had the diagram . Yea I should of put the year 95 which I'm pretty sure that 95-00 are the same thing .. It's just a simple upgrade. Saw them for sale and I said why not , which I didn't think that it was going to had me asking for help....
So far looking good mirror moves all the right ways,defrost works perfectly. Have to hook up turn signal ,puddle lights and last the power folding part ( which I'll have to do some thinking for that )

 

Once you figure out the wiring, hook the power folding up to the steering wheel motor wires. You put your key in the ignition, the steering wheel moves down and the mirrors fold out.

You'll be giddy with excitement the first time you see it.

 

That's a great idea I was thinking of a home made switch but I dig that idea even more ! Thanks

 

I don't know if it could be adapted for use in an LS400 but the 2011+ Toyota Sienna Limited has an on/off push button switch for power folding next to the regular 4-way mirror adjustment switch. IMO, power folding mirrors are far more useful when they can be controlled manually ... allows squeezing through tight traffic, etc.

 

Yea I made it happen, I got it wire with the button up and down on the steering wheel. sooo when key goes in steering wheel goes down mirrors open. When the key is taken off the steering wheel goes up which means mirrors close. Now in thinking of a switch where I can have control of the the wire that powers the mirrors incase I need to move the steering wheel up while driving. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I can control the mirrors with the up and down
Button.
Still doing a lil more thinking on where to wire up the turn signals , Anybody ?

 

Agreed. That's why almost all vehicles in Japan - not just luxury cars, have this function. Sometimes when two cars meet in opposing directions; folding your mirrors may be the only way to get by each other. I do not miss those driving encounters...lot's of paint rubbing.

 

These are the JDM mirror controls from my 1994 model, obviously for RHD models, the shaky shaky/heater system is on a timer, make sure you do the same or the elements may burn out.
The left side mirror also dips down when reverse is selected.
Getting a wiring diagram is almost impossible for the JDMs, if you do find one it will be in Japanese.
