    Power Mirror Wiring

    This got me one step closer, but it only worked with the RH mirror. When I swapped those same two wires on the LH side, all the functions on that mirror were reversed again. The RH mirror is now functioning 100% correctly though! So I restored the LH mirror C and D wires back to their original...

    Yeah, it’s definitely odd to be sure. But it’s also apparently not the first time this has occurred to other people. My searches of the web have resulted in many people reporting the same types of issues with no resolution. If we can get this figured out, I think we’ll be among the first. I’m...

    Power Mirror Wiring

    Well, we’re much closer now! I swapped A and D at the mirror plug by de-pinning and re-pinning them, but that resulted in zero reaction from either mirror. So I went back into each plug and swapped B and C as well. That resulted in the left and right movements being correct in each mirror...

    No, get Corvette out of your head entirely, these are most definitely 3rd Gen F body, specifically 1990 Camaro. I know because I bought them from a Camaro specialist. The switch and mirror motors both. This is the switch:

    You’re saying repin the motor plugs swapping D with A?

    Unfortunately neither of these combinations are correct. I tried both tonight. After extensive testing of all the circuits and their functions, this is what I’ve determined: The closest I can get it to being correct is how I currently have it wired: Orange (terminal A on switch) to +12V...

    Thanks for the clarification. The switch plug is original GM, so it most likely will have them, but I will have to confirm a bit later. Each mirror plug has terminal letters on them that are legible for sure.

    Splice a brown and a white together? There are no red wires…

    Hey guys It’s not often that I get stumped and have to ask for help, but this particular one has me baffled. I’ve installed 3rd Gen F body mirror motors in a set of Monte SS housings, and am using the matching F body mirror switch to control them. The issue is, there are 4 wires going to...

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Played Mad Chemist tonight. Mixed up some epoxy and shot 2 coats on the mirrors after I sanded out the “fit of rage” runs in them from painting the insides, and spot primed the doors after touching up the filler repairs earlier last week. Once the epoxy had set up for an hour...

    What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2023]

    Worked on getting some more sheetmetal on and aligned on this old Chevy. Lots of little tweaks here and there to coax things into place, but they all add up. I’ve done over 90% of the bodywork on it so far, we’ve been working our way from the back forward. Just the hood and passenger fender...

    'Remove from service' dates on compressors?

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with hydrostatic testing, it’s still by all means the safest way of physically testing. Much, MUCH safer than pneumatically. It’s just that it’s become kind of old school and “messy” if you will. With hydrostatic, you’d have to take the vessel out of service...

    'Remove from service' dates on compressors?

    I am a compressor tech and have been for a decade now, so I’d like to think I know a little something about this. The reason the tank ID tag was able to be spot welded on is because it was pressure tested and certified after all the welding was done, including welding on the tag. Being a...
