Need help wiring a power mirror . . . .
 

My '81 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. :bulb: 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 {to the same pin}, black, white, red & green. I assume 2 of the wires go to power & ground (looks like brown & black). That leaves 4 wires to connect to 3 wires . . . Arrrrrrrg!

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. :confused: 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? :confused:
