2005 Ford F250 SD, Gentex mirror

BTW, I used the wiring harness provided by Mito for this mirror.

It has a green wire for hooking up a temp sensor which I do not have on the mirror.

ok take your constent 12+ wire to Yellow fuse it.

Take your Swithed wire to RED / Black or Gray / YELLOW this wire will test 12+ in the acc. postion while rotating the key will go to 0.00 while cranking then 12+ when in the run postion. just be sure to test these wires first.Dont forget to fuse this wire also.

your ground of course goes to a metel ground.

12voltsConstent	yellow (30A), lt grn/pur (30A)	+	ignition harness
Starter	dk. green	+	ignition harness
Second Starter	N/A
Ignition	RED / lt. green	+	ignition harness
Second Ignition	N/A
Third Ignition	N/A
Accessory	gray / YELLOW and RED / black	+	ignition harness

OK I will give that a try.

The wiring harness that came with the mirror has a 5a fuse on each wire.  The yellow battery wire and on the red ignition wire.

When I connected the red mirror wire to the RED / lt grn wire on the ignition harness, is this what cause the yellow wire fuse to blow?

Thanks again for your personal assistance with this matter!

that shouldet mater just meter them wires first

let me know i'll be on line for a little while longer

I will let you rest tonight.

I let you know tomorrow how it went.

Thanks again.

Shaggy12Volt,

Can you see the egg on my face?

Before I changed the wiring from your original suggestion, I pulled the wiring harness to inspect.  Sure enough, when I tightened down the grab handle on the drivers side A pillar, I pinched the yellow battery wire which caused the short, which is why the fuses blew. DUUUUUHHHHH.

You were right on with your original recommendation.  This site should make you a SUPER Guru and not just standard member!

Again thanks for all of your assistance.
