[QUOTE="ragerunner, post: 4442778, member: 89285"] Bro [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]PcMod[/COLOR], the newer side mirrors (eg. those autoflip ones from the Altis, Estima) already have relays embedded in them, signaling for them to stop flipping when the mirror is flipped 90 degrees to its appropriate position. The AE111 Levin (the cars where our BT halfcuts came from) also have these "relay inside" side mirrors, that's why there is only a side mirror controller on the dashboard; no relay. As for the AE92 7 wire side mirrors, that's a different story altogether. I understand what you mean because I got one set for myself too, thinking it would just be modding the base and screw holes then everything else plug and play. Surprise, surprise, it turned out to be much more complicated. My wiring man showed me that when he ran current through the correct wire, the side mirror will flip out 90 degrees.. Then continue flipping 180 degrees.. And it still wouldn't stop running! That will cause damage to the motor very soon. Then he showed me, by adding a circuit relay (those from inside the new Toyota side mirrors), the motor will stop running and the side mirror will stop flipping when it has flipped 90 degrees, just how it should work. To solve this problem (that is assuming you haven't solved it yet), firstly, you will need a relay box to give a signal to the side mirror motor to stop running when it should. IIRC, these relays also control the heaters like you said. So the relay box was what I got for the wiring man.. Then, it turned out that you need a correct switch to match the relay too!:banghead: There are several types of side mirror autoflip switches out there: the Mitsubishi and Nissan ones are changeover switches, the Toyota SEG and Wagon ones are one-touch switches, the one that comes with the Levin AE111 dashboard is an on-off switch, and the AE92 side mirror control is a one-touch switch. In fact, I think the ST171 Corona side mirror switch is similar if not identical to the AE92 side mirror control, its autoflip switch is a one-touch switch.. I do happen to have an ST171 side mirror controller with me.
