colour code for self dimming mirror
I want to retro fit a self dimming mirror to my 2005 CDT.
I'm looking at this thread http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=36634 but have a question. from the mirror I have 3 wires going to the headlining. white/yellow black green/brown. which is permanent live, which is switched live and which is neutral? Alas I don't recall that I have the plug in the headlining so will need to run my own wires. thank you in advance macafee2 |

Hi. White/yellow is permanent live, Black is negative and green/brown is reverse feed.
Hope this helps. Regards John |

I believe it's a switched live from the reversing lights which you can pick up from the fuse box

The reverse feed is a switched live from the reverse switch (manual) or reverse relay (automatic). It disables the dimming function when you are in reverse. You don't have to connect it as it is not essential.

White/Yellow should be an ignition switch controlled feed, not permanent.
