Mirror Retract Function

[AnUsHa_SL]

My Toyota TownAce(CR 27) manual doors have been replaced with power doors recently. New door comes with power mirror, power shutter + mirror retract. According to the electrician, to faction power retract it needs a circuit call mirror controller, normaly its located somewhere in dashboard. But I got the doors with our that. I purched a controller from Delkada, but according to him wire colour code is different and without proper diagram or proper colour code job is very difficult.

I tied with Ti*sa Electricals and they also inform that without a those details its difficult and didn’t take the job .

Currently all the door functions working without mirror retract. Did anyone faced same issue or pls give any suggestions, Please……

Sorry AnUsHa_SL for diverting your thread a bit…

I can remember sometime back someone advertised on the classified, a small unit that could be fixed to cars with mirror retract feature, so that whenever you switch off the engine the mirror retracts automatically. Does anybody have that contact? I think he also advertised on auto dimming in-cabin lamps / or headlamps as well.

Hey machan, pls explain how/ what they did with your vehicle. I also want to do the same, mine has power mirrors but no retract. Put photos if possible. Thanks in advance.

Machan, my mirrors has retract function. (in the market these mirrors are referring as double power mirrors).

I guess you have a single power mirrors; only power mirror motors are available in those. Double power mirrors there are around 6-8 wires coming from mirror, but single only 4-5 wires.

Double Power Mirror

Single Power Mirror

I don’t think you can implement the mirror retract function with the current mirror set.

To function mirror retraction properly, it needs a circuit call mirror controller.

My electrician didn’t have a proper diagram for identify the mirror controller wires. As I remember there are around 6-8 wires. So he did all the wiring except connecting the mirror controller. I went P*la Au*o El*ctri*al only for connect the controller.

And also where is a retract button in driver's side mirror & window controls switch panel.

If you need any details contact me. My mail address is available in my profile.

Machan, thanks for your valuable info with photos. Its very informative. My Problem is I got power mirrors, not double power. But I can install a double power mirror set as you did. But where to put that small retract button.

If your model of vehicle comes with double power mirrors (even though your particular car does not have it), you should be able to find the switch cluster that goes with it, which will replace the current switch cluster.

Other option is mirror retract switch function intergraded to vehicle on/off switch. Eg. When switch moves to lock position mirror retract. But my mirrors/controller doesn’t support that. So it’s better to ask from electrician

dude...it's cool to help somebody bu it seems that you have flooded the forum's most electrical related topics with this same contact...

that's a bit of lame advertising innit...
