Position of window mirror relay?

[mikeb]

Where is it located in the car? The reference book makes not indication as to where it is. Well not on the main relay board anyway?

Anybody know?

Pretty sure its in the door itself(drivers).
Certainly hear it clicking on mine when I operate the mirrors.

In the door, not a nice position.. Its about right in the middle, go in from underneath at the back IIRC. You may be lucky and have the bracket fixed by a self tapper which does make it a lot easier with the loom dangling out

There is also the mirror heater relay in the aux relay panel in the dash, the door mirror relay just does the interchange of up/down movement (switch does +/- & -/+)

Borrowed a super duper multimeter from work, after a trip down the scrappies for the courtesy light delay relay i am gonna tackle the door mirrors and ciggie lighter non working issue.


If the rain stops!

Has anybody got a better copy of the circuit diagram than the one in Heath's book?? .PDF or hardcopy. Will pay the postage and copying costs...??

Somewhere on tvr3.dspen.com is my diag of adapting for the corrado mirrors which shows most of what you want.

Found the relay. It was in the bottom of the door! It must have dropped out of the holder and was knocking around the inner door skin.

No wonder the mirrors didn't work!.

Question. I have found another connector that isn't connected to anything and has 12V across it. It reaches to the other end of the door and is the twin connector variety (ie it has just two terminals) - any ideas what its for??.


All the other connectors are accounted for.

If the wires are purple it may only be live when the doors are open (interior lights). What colour are the wires?

WHilst on this subject does anyone know what car the mirror joystick (1995 model) comes from?
It looks very Vauxhall so guessing at Carlton maybe?
