Electric Mirrors...Help!

[Nalderz]

Ok so i want to replace my standard mirrors for some M3 or similar mirrors... but i'm not sure if mine are 3 or 4 wire??

Anybody got any ideas

I have a 2003 Peugeot 307 and this is a pic of the cables coming from the mirror...

Theres 6 and i dont have a clue about this stuff, please help

Would 2 be for the heater in mirror and the other 4 for the motors? It's times like this when you need a workshop manual.

That would make sense. A wiring diagram which denotes the colours would be helpful. We could probably work it out with a DVM if you measure the resistances between pairs but a diagram would be easier.

OK - can you scan and email the relevant pages.

If there are six wires we can treat that as three pairs. There might well be three earths that are common. It shouldn't be too hard to unravel this.

The harder part of the job is going to be making the new mirrors suit the bodywork of your car.

That's the definitive answer. PSA mirrors are very good for vision, Ford's are even better.
