Mirror Wiring

[Smiler AS]

Just realised today that the electric mirrors don't work on the terrano, heated not power.
Took the door card off to find that connectors not connected but on closer look the mirrors have a female oval connector and male rectangular connector - no fit?
Browsing through eBay, looks like mirrors fitted (chrome) are form pre face lift models.
But I like the chrome mirrors!
Has anyone ever cut the connectors and put the wires together?
- they are different colours? (if same would have been easy)

Looks like you are in a mine field there, first off are there the same number of wires on both loom and mirror, if so you stand a fighting chance, but trial and error comes to mind, Rick

Yep, same number of wires - just different colours.

OK well you can down load the diagrams from the different models and compare the two in order to sort it, but you are a better man than me if you can make head nor tail of those, me I would be doing it with a test meter and trial and error, Rick

I've found which wire on the connector activated the heated mirror.
Does anyone know which colour of wire on the mirror unit is the heated element wire?
Or anyone have links to the wiring downloads?
I've seen some diagrams with numbers but not colours.
