406 electrochrome interior mirror wiring help!

Post by OutFishing »

Hello 406oc,

I have recently purchased a Peugeot 406 interior autodim mirror which has 3 wires, white, black and grey but before i install it and either destroy the mirror or the car would someone please advise me on which of the coloured wire are the live and earth. I am guessing that the remaining wire operates from the BSI after reverse is selected so technically i only need the live and earth.

I have looked at Sedre but as the wires arent numbered on the mirror side of the wiring and the plug has no markings to indicate pins 1, 2 or 3. :?

Thank you in advance to someone who may kindly help me to distingush the correct wires.

The car side you can work out with a multimeter
The mirror side you can suss with a 9v battery
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

thank you for your reply MJB, however my car doesnt have the internal wiring to power the mirror, hence my question.

I have determined that pin 2 is live, but need to determine the earth wire as i only need 2 out the 3 to work, i am a "blackbelt with a soldering iron!" and initially need to clarify the correct wiring/colours on the mirror only and then work out which wires to connect to.

Any idea's anyone
