THX! If you had a wiring diagram, it would be rebuildable. I almost replaced the wires by cutting and splicing in w/solder joints. I may do so in the future if the rest of the rubber loomed wiring goes south. They appeared to be unscathed by heat, moisture, and bending when moving mirrors.excellent writeup...it was too late for mine as my wires were so corroded they basically dissentagrated (mispelled). I was screwed because they didnt offer just the wire replacement so I had to buy 2 new mirrors![]()
That is GREAT news! Enjoy the ride!sorry to bump this thread back up, but i just wanted to thank you for the write up. I just finished re insulating all the wires in both mirrors. They both work like a charm now!
best part...no more floppy mirrors. I finally got them to extend all the way out.
Thanks again.
It's actually to design the car to be easily recyclable per EU regulations.the wiring harness all over the car was made out of low heat rating, they tried cutting corners during engineering and production, mostly the wiring harness on the engine side tends to disintegrate, very few cases of side view mirror suffering from that defect although it is common.
I only covered bare and partially insulated wiring as no new wiring was used.Thank you very much for your guidance.
I have aquired 7 colors of 3/32" shrink tubing. My question is whether to use it to cover all portions of the wire including those portions with intact insulation, or to try and strip the insulation from the wires so that everything becomes bare wire?
Looking at your photos it appears that you have replaced some of the wire with new wire. Are my obsevations correct?
Thanks again.
