CF4 accord folding mirrors
Have a thread in the accord section but no one seems to know or was able to help so i figured id post this here.
Mods if you could please delete the thread from the accord section id appreciate it.
Bought a set of CF4 folding mirrors and the wiring is half way not as simple as i thought it would have been.
Wondering if anyone can give me any input on this? Wiring diagram? tips? tricks? anything at all would be great.
Thanks

Re: CF4 accord folding mirrors
actually didn't come with a relay. Some people on the accord forum say that Canadian 98-02 accord came with heated mirrors and for them its a direct swap.
Here are the wiring diagrams for both:
Here are the wiring diagrams for both:
From reading a few threads about other JDM vehicles from this era, it seems the switch should contain the relays necessary for opening and closing the mirrors.
It should also have some sort of sensor. One type could be a current limit; so when it reaches full out or in the motor will load up because it can't push any further so it trips a switch inside the switch to turn them off.
So from here you need to identify the 2 extra wires on each mirror harness and tap into them. Extend these wires to the switch and connect them. It's likely that the left and right wires are spliced into one input on the switch. If you get it backwards on the switch it will just be in reverse, so just swap them.

Re: CF4 accord folding mirrors
Only some switches do not need the relay box. Can you post pictures of the switch from the back with the pig tails and the relay showing pig tails. The mirriors should work like factory when plugged in. You just have to pin for heater and folding action. Also pics on the mirrior harness.

Re: CF4 accord folding mirrors
switch and pig tails with it
Stock pig tail for the switch i currently have in the car
Jdm mirror wires
I think i might have caused a bit of a confusion here. I have a USDM accord not a Canadian hence i do NOT have the heated mirrors.
