So, I had my CTR power folding mirrors fully functional and working using the switch with the single row green connector. I then picked up a dark gray switch to match my dash, however when I installed it (followed the pin outs over correspondingly), now the mirrors don't work. I tried to use a wiring diagram that dictated my plug, however the switch is different as it has a dark gray plug and it seems as though it's almost an integrated relay on the back? Possibly a way to bypass the other OEM relay.

**EDIT: Also, on the new switch, the button stays in when pushed in as opposed to the first switch in which it would retract back out once pressed. This URL here: http://www.jdmpro.com/picture/foldingmirrors.htm, shows that with the radio shack relay, the button has to be held all the way in, the whole time. Thus, it makes me think that the piece on the back of the switch is an integrated relay. But how to wire it?

I just need some help because I've tried every method to wire up the mirrors, but can't get them. So I'm hoping someone has used this switch before? Here's some pics:





Thanks!

well theres a way to hook up the power mirrors BUT it doesnt have instructions on the retractable part and You dont use the relay but an In-Line fuse and a 12v source.

If you do find a way to wire it let me know cause my CTRs are just sitting in my room.

huh? I'm not sure I understand you. If you wire up the switch on the same wires as the old switch it's already to a 12v source and on an inline fuse. That's not issue, it's just a matter of getting the mirrors to fold with this switch (I had them folding with the other one). Like I said, I think that piece on the back is an integrated relay and obviously the wiring is different because now they don't work and all that was changed is the switch.

So, I'm trying to figure out the wiring for that switch and if the use of the external relay is even necessary?

i would see if you can just swap the the faces/buttons possibly. i'm lazy like that

BTW, for anyone wondering I figured it out. It turns out that you DON'T need the OEM relay box with this switch. How cool, it saved me about $20-$30.
