seven five

I can't believe it isn't raining! Anyway, had a look, I used soldered insulated spade connectors plugged directly on to the switch terminal when I did this last. Using the actual terminal numbers on the inside of the switch my car has Term Colour on original g60 loom 1 white 2 blue/red 3 brown 4 5 black 6 black yellow 7 8 blue or using the colours I originally listed white to white blue/red to black/white brown to brown black to blue black yellow to black yellow blue to black My mirrors work perfectly...BUT...I've just noticed that I didn't have pin 7 (illumination - black/yellow to black/blue in my original post) connected. Thing is I can't remember why. On one hand this explains why I noticed the other night that my switch didn't light up(!) but is also the only difference between what you did and what I did. Try disconnecting it. If it works let me know and I'll correct my original post/find another way of powering the illumination circuit. Hope that helps

Dan_NI, it's been a while since I wrote that, I've had the interior out twice since and the mirrors still work correctly, so either your wiring is different from mine ('91 g60) or I made a mistake in the info. If it doesn't rain this evening I will check the connections on my switch and let you know

I don't know about the ignition module but I had a similar problem on my g60. Turned out to be a faulty hall sender. IIRC it's only available with the distributor and was therefore expensive but may be worth checking.

Remove the trim. There are two three way plugs that you can disconnect and then pull the mirror and its wiring out of the door.

You might be able to get the Window switches to fit but the electric mirror control is a different size, shape and mounts in a different location. I doubt you could modify the card and even if you did, you'd still have to fill the hole left by the original mirror control.

If it helps, I started a thread a while ago asking for a vr6 wiring diagram. I documented all the wiring I did for the door mirrors somewhere near the end of the thread so may be worth a look. Good luck!

Or do what I did, reverse the connections on the black three pin plug in the door, it's easier.

Agreed. You can modify the early e/w window connector, the passenger side plug will fit the later switch but you need to swap two of the wires. The drivers side needs an extra connection in addition to the 5 on the plug but again you need to change some of the wires around. The mirror connector is completely different though and if I had to do it again, I would get hold of the late loom, it makes the job a lot easier.

Rolex, I did this recently. In addition to what JMC says you will also need the late handles and door pulls to fit the cards. Do a search and you'll find all of the wiring information for the mirrors and windows.

I finally got around to starting the re-wiring. I did the easy job first, the window mirrors, most of this is in the knowledge base but I've included the descriptions based on my understanding of the circuit diagram, this explains why the particular wires go to particular terminals and will help if you ever need to troublshoot or make a loom to convert from late wiring to early interior: for RHD corrado old terminal colour description 1 brown power to clutches 2 black "-ve from motors" 3 blue/red power to passenger mirror motor 4 blue power to driver mirror motor 5 black/yellow power from fuse 14 6 white "-ve from clutches/heat element" Note - wire colours taken from my car '91 G60 new termnal colour description 1 white "-ve from clutches 2 black/white power to passenger mirror motor 3 brown power to clutches 4 no connection 5 blue "-ve from motors" 6 black/yellow power from fuse 14 7 black/blue power from fuse 14 for illumination 8 black power to driver mirror motor note - wire colours taken from bentley diagram. If I've made any mistakes in my understanding of this, please let me know. Also with regards to the mirrors working back to front, the knowledge base article says "... the only way to correct it is to reverse the polarity at the motors(swop two wires over)..." - this is not entirely true. The mirrors connect to the door looms via two 3 pin connectors, one black and one white. I found that the black one carries power to the motors and you can reverse the connections here so that the mirrors work correctly, rather than taking apart the mirrors. You need to take off the door cards to find these connectors, on my car they were near the electric window motor. On my car: The drivers door, swap the blue and black wires on the black plug, i.e. originally blue goes to blue and black goes to black, so connect blue to black, and black to blue. This'll make perfect sense when you see the plug. On the passenger door. connect the black wire (door loom) to the red wire on the mirror loom and the green wire to the black. On both doors the leave the third connection (brown on drivers, brown and brown/white on passenger). note to do this, you'll have to either replace the existing plugs, remove the plugs and solder the wires or (like me) take apart the existing plug and put it back together with the wires reversed. My mirrors work correctly. Will tackle the electric window switches next...

trevor: Thanks again for all your help, I think I saw that knowledge base article previously but will look again. Bigpants Baby: Thanks, but I don't need them. Thanks to Trevor I now have all the wiring diagrams needed to convert early door wiring to late model switches for mirror and electric windows. I will post the relevant connection details when I've finished testing.

Trevor that's a very geneorous offer :shock: You have pm :D

DaveVR6 and VR6, thanks, the way things are going with my g60, the bentley book might be a sound investment. :oops: I've seen a few of the pdf versions of the manual on ebay, I'm trying to persuade one of the sellers to confirm the level of detail. mrbeige, thanks for that. I have that one already and the '94 one and it's part of my confusion with this issue. On the last page in '93 one, it has the power mirror circuit and lists the switch as having six terminals. But the late interior mirror switch has 8 terminals, the early switch has 6. Was there a different changeover year in the states?

Hello, I'm swapping the interior from a vr6 into my g60. I need to rewire the electric window switches, mirror switch and eventually the dash switches into the early loom. I've done a seach and found some stuff on the wiki for the electric mirrors but not enough information. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a vr6 wiring diagram (I already have one for the g60) so that I can make up my own conversion looms for the new switches? It needs to list the pins on the actual switches and include all the connections to the fuse box. There are a few floating around on the web claiming to be for a 94 corrado but are for the early interior

Thanks Henny, I had a feeling it was a bad sign! Will talk to to the good folks at G-werks... :D
