450 SE Wing Mirrors

[Henry Harris]

I am seeking a wiring diagram for adjusting wing mirrors. My car is a 1989 450 SE. Such a diagram does not appear to be in Steve Heath's The TVR Wedges.

Thanks

Hi when I had issues with mine I seem to remember looking at a Rover SDI manual for info and that resolved the issue

What is up with the mirrors ?

[Henry Harris]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

It appears the wiring between the adjustment switch and the mirrors has been changed by previous owner(s). A symptom is when switch to one or other of the mirrors and then using the joystick to adjust it, both mirror motors whirr.

Does that explain? Please let me know.

I believe mine does that as well, but only the mirror that is switched does actually move.

Probably the same with most Wedges as my 350 also did that

Any other out there do this ?

Congrats on the 450 SE AS it's what I have now - allbeit a 400 with 450 BV engine in -, also hope yours is a flapper as much more noise

Thanks. Here are pics of mine ex "BAD 80Y". http://good-times.webshots.com/album/560530616bYnn...

To be clear, both motors shouldn't whirr when I have toggled to one or the other?

Remember that wedge from 2006 fest , very bad boy !

I did an article for Wedgepages that had the circuit diagram; it transpired that the exact same circuit down to the colour-codes of the wires was as used on the SAAB 99. The joystick was also found on the Mk. 2 Granada so presumably that wiring was the same as well!

The design of the circuit is such that whichever mirror is NOT being adjusted will still clatter when the joystick is moved (IIRC) up and down.

[Henry Harris]

Many thanks for the information about the Saab and the Granada. I'll have another go at it and let you know.

The latest is that the door mirror set-up is equivalent to the proverbial "pig's-breakfast". We have replaced the door mirror motors and the adjustment switch. I will fill in the details soon.
