Need help wiring a power mirror . . . .
My 240D only came with a drivers side rear view mirror. So I went out and looked and found a power passenger side mirror as well as a power mirror switch and connector on E-bay. I'm by no means knowledgable in wiring things together, but figured how hard could this be. I figured I could just connect the same colored wires from the switch to the mirror and then find a power source & ground. No such luck! The power mirror has 3 wires Grey, White & Black. The switch has 2 brown wires, black, white, ( I was doing this from memory and forgot the other 2 wire colors) anyhow, I assume 2 of the wires go to power & ground (looks like brown & black). That leaves 4 wires to connect to 3 wires . . . Arrrrrrrg!
From my poor description, can anyone help? If someone knows how these wires should connect together, please share the knowledge.

Check out this site, http://mb.braingears.com/. You should be able to find a wiring diagram there. Look under the W123 300D turbo model.

Progress so far . . .
Here is what I have done so far. I used an old 12V power supply and played random wire splicing until it seems to work. I'm not sure if it is correct!
The connector for the switch has the following configuration: pin# --- color of wire 1 ------ 2 brown 2 ------ green 3 ------ empty 4 ------ red 5 ------ black 6 ------ white Here's what seemd to work as far as wire splicing: Mirror ------ Switch Grey ------ Green White ------ Red & Brown Black ------ White Switch To Power Source Black (+) and Brown (-) Has anyone else done this?

Took a look at a 1984 schematic. Switch wire #1 (brown/green) goes to mirror #2. Switch wire #2 (brown) goes to ground. Switch #3 is not used. Switch #4 (white) goes to mirror #3 (white). Switch #5 (green) goes to mirror #1. And switch #6 (black/green) goes to fues #4, which is hot in accesory, run, and start. Mirror terminal #1 looks to be the common wire for the two mirror motors.

I really do appreciate your assistance!!! Once I get the site open, I don't know if I could make sense of the wiring diagram or not. Thanks again for your help!
