2000 jeep grand cherokee, power folding mirror

hi i am new here and this is my first post i needed some help i have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with power fold mirrors what i wanted to do was connect the mirrors up so when i unlock the car they come out and when locked they go in does anyone know how i can do this and what i will need in order for this to work. thanks in advance

the one thing i know is that the mirrors dont fold in and out when the cars off is there anyway to connect it using a relay or something similar

So, if the ignition is off the mirrors will neither fold nor unfold?Kevin Pierson

thats correct mate

that will make it a little more difficult.  You will need to find out exactly how the mirror and switch are wired.  Is the switch connected right to the mirror or is there a controller box in between?Kevin Pierson

First thing, pull the mirror switch to see if the power feed oviously ignition controlled is there, then cut and join with a constant 12v+ fused (5amps) wire. If this makes the mirriors work all the time, you're in with a ghost of a chance. You've then got to test the switch outputs to see what's happenning, they are all different! e.g. Toyota Supra needs a 5 wire timed relay  interrupting circuit, each side either to ground one side or other plus + one side or other depending on direction. Some Japanese Mitsubishis need a momentary pos. pulse to 1 wire, and automatically open when you turn on the ignition. I've had BMW E46 mirrirs do it automaticaly on arming the alarm, but this is down to the dealer or fiddling with the I Drive.

will try that mate thanks for the advice
