post 28 up there may help you

 

Thanks for your help, but the base and the motor shaft are two different parts.

 

There's a grommet on the top of the motor as well.

Remove the electrical tape that's around the wires on the motor and you'll see it. Run your wires through the grommet and then through the motor, then re-tape everything together.

And for everyone elses knowledge, I"m digging up pics, but when you run the wires from the door into the car, you'll need to use the grommet hole that is just under the Bosch connector. Unless you have the special pin tools to re-pin that harness connections.

 

Ok, a couple pics that I've got handy that might help.

This is the base triangle, grommet side, attatched:



You'll want to remove the electrical tape around the wires, then gradually work the grommet off.





Here's a picture of the Assembly with the USDM Mirror Tilt motor (white piece) mounted on the JDM Motor and bracket, everything installed in the Housign:



Here's a picture of what I was talking about earlier, about the JDM Base Triangle and USDM being just slightly different. The JDM one is in the foreground of this picture, with the USDM one behind it:



Here's a pic of the JDM motor and the wires that come out of the top:



Here's a pic of the JDM motor, motor base, and USDM mirror tilt motor assembly removed from the Main Mirror Housing while I was installing my Puddle lights:



Here's a trick that helps a bit to stop you from breaking the mirror on removal/installation
Also keeps it clean and helps to identify components (they can get mixed up pretty easy during this swap):

 

Here's what your defrost heating element looks like on the back of the removed mirror (if you have one)



I'm going to upload a couple more pics later, mainly of running the wires from the door into the car.

 

View of door to Mirror harness, Grommet in door, Panel removed:



Closeup on Harness. Red/Orange are for your Fold IN/OUT function, those are the 2 wires you need to run to the switch. Purple/green/blue are for your tilting mirror, same as the USDM, I had to cut them for my application, but you shouldn't have to.
The extra Green/Black wires are for my puddle lights, ignore them.
Then the Black wires That change to Blue/Black are for the defrost. Ignore these, I had to cut them, you won't have to.



Pop the foot rest and fuse panel covers off by the drivers feet, you'll be left with this:



Fish your wires through the Grommet in the door, then through the grommet in the door at the hinge, as shown below:



Then fish through the grommet hole just below the Main Door Harness:



Note, you'll only have 2 wires that need to run though.

I had 8 , it was a pain.

More pictures coming.

 

Most of the pics arent showing. Just the last 4. For the last pic the MF = ***** *****.

So if you remove the plug, it's a hole there? or you have to drill a little hole.

 

Correct. There's a hole.

The pics WERE working, I'll look into it.

EDIT: Pics fixed, thanks for letting me know!!

Fishing the wires through with a 24" piece of mechanics wire, again, you'll only have 2 wires:





Prepping the wiring for completion in the hinge. Leaving it bare wire is not Sufficient. Pre-cut a piece of loom that will fit in the hole in the body, 1/4" stuff will work fine:



Then feed it through the hole and secure it so it can't move from the hole, as this hole is where it'll rub right through your wiring:



Here's how much I had to feed through there

 

Wires run through Door Grommet



Final wiring through Door Hinge:



Wiring run and tied back up:

 

could you please post a video once you have finished the install? I need a push to buy these lol!

 

There's going to be a ton of pics in the DIY, but no video of the install.

 

you are a genius! watch the PF mirror buyers number go up because of the DIY. Awesome work TunerMax!

 

Whoa Jimmy, far from genius, but thanks all the same.

Taking these apart to such a ridiculous level and adding a bunch of stuff allowed me to learn a bit about them.

Then having to custom design and wire my own auto-fold circuit for them taught me a lot about the wiring and motor circuit. Just sharing that knowledge.

 

This is alot of learning, I'm tired!
