clubber Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm thinking of fitting the power fold mirrors off an RS to my ST. I have established that I need the mirrors with integrated puddle lights, a new switch for activating the mirrors and modified ELM to activate it all in the GEM Was wondering if anyone has done it before or has a link to a guide. There is a guy over at focusstoc that has done it but his guide isn't very good http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/topic/110004-power-fold-mirrors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmetallica Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 get the wires from breaker or look in maplin .you need 3 female and 1 male terminal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezza Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I fitted mine this way as I only need to add the one wire :) Like already stated you need to have front door modules for this to work, if you have global open/close windows you will have these modules fitted ,and obviously power fold mirror will need turning on with elm 1 wire goes from the mirror plug pin 8 to the blue plug in the Driver Door Module (DDM), pin number 14 Then fit the drivers power folding mirror and refit the trims There is no need to do anything to the passenger side only fit the new power folding mirror Then fit the RS power fold switch that's incorporated in the electric window / mirror switch is FINIS number 1693643 cost 44.28 And away you go :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmetallica Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 no.you need the door modules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I will have to look into this with more details on what these modules are because it could already be on the car, looking at some pics from when i took my door mirror off i can see the connector is missing 2 wires based on your pics john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmetallica Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 it looks like this the box on the window motor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Looking at pics from previous mods it seems i don't have the module but it seems i have the wiring, not sure tbh will have to double check the wiring colours on the schematics Don't think the door module is here. However is that bit of wire wrapped in fabric tape for it? i don't remember if it was connected to anything. These are the wiring from the door going to the mirror connector Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Going back and forth comparing my wiring to yours i do think the wiring for global closing/opening is actually there. Do you by any chance know the part number for that door module and does the passenger side also require one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giwrgos_ath Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Guys, can anyone tell me if the mirrors with puddle light (from RS i think) have powerold as standard? Can you get puddle lights without powerfold? I got my hands on 8M51 17682 VB. Can anyone tell me if that has powerfold and how can i tell visually? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubber Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Check the wires, one of the connections has 2 wires going into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
