Hey guys, so i have a JL sub and the rattle in my mirror was terrible so i decided to take it apart and stuff some foam down inside of it to absorb some of the rattle. Well maybe this wasnt such a good idea. On the circuit board right behind the mirror, the red wire was pulled out... the ground is still attached though. I put the wire back in and soldered it... yet still no power to mirror. and as soon as that got pulled out, hell broke lose with some things in my interior. the sunroof wont move, the clock doesnt work at all, blinkers will blink outside, but no ticking noise or light on dash, and everytime i turn off my car my trip mileage goes to zero. And the a/c goes to 75 everytime with fan only blowing on face. So no memory setting work either.

Have i disrupted a circuit? like cut one off? I checked fuse box and the fuse for the mirror is in fine condition. I definately do not know alot about this kind of stuff so ANY imput will be greatly appreciated. thanks guy

 

damn. anyone?

 

There is a guy on ebay that sells all the Gentex mirrors for our cars. Make sure if you go that route, get the next generation mirror for the 06 and newer G35s. The original mirrors are absolute crap and rattle like crazy. I had my mirror replaced 3 times by the dealer and the 3rd time I had it exchanged for the newer generation mirror. No more rattles. The fix you are talking about is on this forum at length, but I was worried about doing it for the same reason you have this thread.........problems with putting it back together. Good luck.

 

I dont have the dimmer mirror though, the one with all the electrical crap... i dont know if the newer mirrors will work... obviously alot goes on with this damn mirror.

 

I believe that our cars are prewired for the homelink mirror. As long as you are going through all this grief, you might as well consider upgrading to the better mirror. Again, check out the links for Gentex and you can probably get the whole kit for around $200 or a used one on ebay for less. Good luck.

 

yea i can get a used mirror (the one just like mine with all that computer crap behind it) for like 50 shipped... computer crap, haha shows my knowledge. i dont even know the name for what that it is. circuit board?

Idk im probably gunna buy it tonight from the guy...

 

do you think my blinker, clock, memory settings, and sunroof will work again when i plug up a working mirror?

Because those all stopped working the second i started messing with my mirror.... lol

 

you might have created a short and blown a fuse
