I put a set of aftermarket side mirrors on my car, they didnt come with any instructions on wiring. I was able to figure out how to make them work with my switch properly, but im havin a problem hookin up the blinker part. I ran the wires to the front blinker and it works fine until i turn on my headlights, then they donot work. Anyone kno whats wrong?

 

whats wrong is you putting those mirrors w/ blinkers in teh first place

 

possibly blew a fuse?

 

wire them to the fuse box ... not the turn signal itself ...

 

Im not sure on how to wire them to the fuse box. They look great and work fine. They just dont work when the lights are on.

 

what u have to do is remove the Ricewall.........but then that leaves ur car unprotected from Rice

alot of the wiring on the civic is REVERSED.
hard to explain.

But check your grounds, might even need a relay

Especially when someones new cars wiring is concerned right?

 

there are 3 wires goin into the blinker on the car i think that might have something to do with it. Theres only 2 wires from the blinker on the mirrors

 

power trigger & ground?

i'm going out boozing i'll bbl to check this.

 

no sure if u still need help ... but ...

under the steering wheel u'll see the fuse box and plugs ... there's a long green plug (think it's a 42 pin) ...

using a tester ... turn ur indicators on and see which one blinks for left and which blinks for right ...

those wires will only control blinking so ur mirrors will only blink and not come on with the park lights ...

so u wire them in ... either tap or solder ...

find a good ground and u r done ...

the wires are easy to get to ...

u just have to go through the pain to running the wires through the door and through oem spots to get to the source.

 

I don't care what anyone says... I like the Civic Hybrid Mirrors with the Signals in 'em
