Power Mirror Wiring

[jcboy]

why do you know more than i do about my own car? LOL. yes i don't have those sky blue and black wires on the kick panel. just wondering, isnt the retract supposed to go into a module (that the switch's retract button activates)?

thanks for the quote, i don't have money to burn yet for this upgrade, (although i can afford the wiring, thanks to you) i'll let you know once i've saved up for the mirrors.

For the retract, it is simply a function of the power mirror switch. No additional module is required.

cool, so it's not like the older honda (jdm) that needed a retract module? i understand the wires just reverse polarity to activate the motor in either direction, but isnt that going to cause battery drain? i mean, although it is wired to IGN On and that the motor stops at the hint of it being fully in or fully out, but does the 12V supply stop too?

The switch module handles the polarity switching and limit switches keep it from drawing current when not in use.

Got it Scott. Thank you.

I will go ahead and check out our junkyards for the mirrors and the switch, and will be in touch with you re the wiring.

Finally finished with the wiring and installation of these power folding mirrors. im still to have them painted tomorrow though, as i just retouched on the paint with clear coat.

scott and the entire community, thank you for all your support. i was able to do everything by myself. (even freelance mechanics--our motown "banawe" is full of them--had fun watching me doing everything for 3 straight hours)
it's actually a good thing that i didnt purchase the harness from you as the connector for the units here are different from what the rest of the world gets.

As my response is on the other topic, im not sure. But definitely there is at least one other toyota car that uses the same mirrors, worst case is youll have to transfer it to your side mirror base. The 2008-2012 yaris sedan, 2008-12 corolla, 2007-11 camry, auris, yaris, 2009 scion xd all use the same mirror assembly with different base (attachment to the door).

Not for the US, but there is for Japanese market Yaris.

There really isn't enough info in that listing to say if they are OK or not. (They say OEM but have no part number info or anything of that nature). Wiring means running wires through the doors to the under dash junction box and tapping the appropriate wires.

You can do the LED turn signal ones without a problem, but for the folding ones you will also need the power mirror switch for the folding mirrors.

Assuming the 2013 yaris have the same switch as my 2012 sedan, then i can source out the mirror control with retract switch for 1300 pesos here, or around $30. If there were no shipping costs i would say this is a viable option for you guys there.

Otherwise you can probably get from the junkyard as the toyota siennas and rav4s (limited) there have power fold and use the same switch.

With some of the other US Toyotas the switch is slightly different and does not fit into the slot in the dash on the Yaris.
