Hey all,

Just trying to work out the best way to hook the power mirrors up to the alarm so they fold/unfold when you enable/disable the alarm.

Has been discussed before if you want a quick catch up http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ht=mirror+alarm

So from what I can gather the G-O appears to be to wire it to the central locking, and detect ON/ACC so you don't accidentaly close the mirrors by locking the doors whilst driving?

Figure I'd use something like a 2PST 12v relay to figure the ON/ACC part, and then just hooking the switch under the dash into the central locking..... unless anybody else has any better ideas?

Thanx

ive thought about this also. and do plan on setting it up one day. i dont know how much power the mirror motors draw so playing it safe might require a few relays, one for open and one for close.

you might want to have a switch to be able to turn this feature on and off. with the relays have this switch control the main power imput of the relay (save having two switchs) or have a cross over relay that when the ignition is on the relay doesnt send power to the other relays

find the wires that controls the door lock unlock. correct the lock to the relay used for close and the unlock to the relay used for the open.

if you find the mirrors are not opening or closing fully you might need to add a capacister.

by slicing into the harness you leave your original switch working at all times, this will solve the problem some find with remote start ect.

hope this has been of help. do tell if you get it done i would be interested to know how ya went.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
