Question about my weekend projects...

shipjumper · 08-10-2008, 09:40 PM

This weekend besides weekend house crap that I finished, I also got work done onthe BAJA...

Installed the STi Intercooler... pain in the butt without my fathers shop to work out of. Also It would have been better if I had the OEM BPV hose from an STi instead of the Ebay X02 racing hose that did not fit so I adapted the OEM BAJA BPV hoses to fit with the X02 hose...

710 fluid change.... annoying random whiff of oil smell and no wet filter or drain plug / pan.. ugh hate that feeling.

Now for the QUESTION in this thread.

I installed the two heated mirrors and the switch. The passenger side works like a charm, hence forth the switch does too! However the drivers side does not. Is there a procedure to test it, maybe just replace the glass / element part? It took me forever to find a mica black pair of mirrors...

anyone???

could you swap the mirrors??? like just plug in the drivers mirror on the passenger side and see if you get it to power up over there?

subeman90 · 08-11-2008, 06:19 AM

yeah do what he said...that seems really strange but maybe you got a bum mirror.

steven765 · 08-11-2008, 11:37 AM

Use a volt meter, verify you're getting voltage to the pins.

shipjumper · 08-11-2008, 08:13 PM

the mirror adjusts... when it stops raining ill take it apart and try those ideas...

does anyone have a wire diagram for the doors?

steven765 · 08-12-2008, 12:53 AM

I do, no way to scan though

I can post the pins and what they do if you like?

shipjumper · 08-12-2008, 04:45 PM

that sounds good, OH!

I just remembered, don't the heated mirrors have the little defroster icon on the drivers side one?

steven765 · 08-13-2008, 01:45 AM

yes they do, actually the both do

steven765 · 08-13-2008, 01:53 AM

SO on both the Yellow/red 4 and Yellow/Green 5 wires are the heater circuit
and
Red/blue 3 stripe is the common for the mirror motors

Right only
blue/ green 1 stripe is the up/down motor
blue/ white 2 stripe is the left right motor

Left
Red/white 2 stripe is the left/right
Red/yellow 1 is the up/down

looking at connector face on

tab
3,2,1
6,5,4

I was never impressed with these on my 02 OB. I always loved the mirrors though.

Do you have a power drivers seat? If not you can easily have one

I put one in mine.

steven765 · 08-13-2008, 11:54 AM

ordering the parts for the seat tomorrow 850$ for the motors, leather and frame. I'm debating a new cushion just for grins while i'm at it.

I can tell you how to do it with a junk yard seat. I did mine for hardly any money then i sold what was left. Don't do this without hearing me out...

Sadly I found a turbo online 06 manual with only 3000 miles. I was thinking about it until I remember oh yea 93 gas!!

I have the lights and mirrors done. Seat will be ordered next paycheck. I might do the lighted ignition ring, then I'll have all the turbo options :-D

btw Jeff, the computer is built. However now the real fun has been trying to get a workable front end interface. I'm toying with roadrunner right now. It's gonna take a lot of work to make it look clean.

I also might have to send the xenarc head unit back to see if they'll fix it. Lots of software bugs still, and the front pre-amp outputs have zero volume. :/

I have the schematics, I'm only buying the parts that are different, which saves quite a bit. The only trick is I don't have cowring pliers, nor any experience using them so i might have to have someone clip the cover to the seat for me.

well placed zipties FTW. If you do it right it is just as good

subeman90 · 08-17-2008, 03:39 PM

talk to me about the lights... I know they look different but what about wiring and is there a difference in seeing with them at night?

steven765 · 08-17-2008, 06:00 PM

You mean the head light swap for the 4 beam? It was caaaake, just order the 4 beam ones where ever you can find them cheapest. I then went and bought watertight automotive connectors, cut the factory, put mine on, snapped them in.. you're good to go! They're both 3 wire, you just have to map them out. Voltmeter will do. I can go find the colors if you really ask nicely.

They look great, the 4 beams look far more aggressive then the 2. I haven't cleared them yet. I still debate the safety factor of doing so as the orange is meant to shine the light back over the corner.

I also like the vision pattern more. With the 4 beams I was able to replace everything up front with the real orsama bulbs from europe, not the overpriced silverstar's. So it could be a combination of both.
