I bought a autodimming mirror that came from a 1999 Windstar. There are 5 wires coming out of the mirror. The mirror has Gentex-156 stamped on the reverse. I am trying to install it on my 1989 Aerostar. Can anyone provide me what each of the 5 wires are for? ___________________________________________ Texas0910 |

There are five pins coming from the mirror. They are marked: IGN, BAT, GND, RI, K1 and 0+. The mirror has a slide on the bottom marked Auto Headlight. I guess that goes to some relay that turns the headlights on when it gets dark. I would like to hook up the mirror so that the autodimming and autoheadlight features work with my Aerostar. Thanks again for the quick response. ___________________________________________ Texas0910 |

The Gentex mirror I had seemed diffrent from what you are describing, it did not have the autoheadlight feature, it had 7 pins but only 5 wires as such:
1 Dark Blue 12V + Ignition 2 black Ground 3 Violet Back Up Lamp Connection 4 White Side View Mirror + 5 Yellow Side Vie Mirror -
4&5 were used to control side view mirrors that had a dimming feature.
Sorry I could not help |

Here is the low down on the connections to a Gentex mirror (with comp and temp) cut from a late model GM product. The connector pin numbers are found on the wire incursion side of the mating connector. GM wire harness color function PIN 1 PINK POWER +12 volts PIN 2 BK CHASSIS, GND PIN 3 LT GRN BACKUP LIGHTS PIN 4 GY TO AUTO DIM OUTSIDE MIRROR PIN 5 PINK TO AUTO DIM OUTSIDE MIRROR PIN 6 DR GRN/WT TEMP PROBE PIN 7 BK/WT TEMP PROBE Note: Pin 3 is to be connected to the backup lights to turn off the auto dim feature in reverse. If you intend not to use this feature connect the LT GRN wire to chassis ground. If this pin is floating the auto dim will not work properly. Hope this helps. Walt |

I have two Gentex mirrors and I can not get either to work. I have hooked up the wires as above and still do not get the LED light to come on nor the display. Is there a trick or something to activate it? Any suggestions to get these mirrors working would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very Much, Lonny |
