I have a 92 honda civic. I have a set of power folding mirror and i would like to install them. The switch that came with the lights can control the mirror movement as well as the power folding option. This install would be simple. the problem i am left with is that i do not have the factory relay/module box.
So i am looking to find a relay/module that can duplicate the factory one. The switch that i have has a 1 push button that goes to the relay/module box then out to the mirrors. The mirrors use revers polarity. The relay must be able to run the mirrors for x timing to open and x timing to close at the push of one button for both functions.
Sorry i am not really good with my explanation.
Here is a link with the wiring diagram. I am looking at duplicating the 5 pin relay/module in the upper left corner.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

Now substitute the 528s for the above relays to give you a timed pulse (about 4 seconds each way).

And number 3 is following number 2 with out reading my original post or looking at the diagram that i have up as a link.

Problem solved i was able to get oem operation using a 611T and 2 spdt relays. Very easy and very cheap. Now you could put a 528t in there but it's not needed. When the mirrors reach there open or closed position the motor auto stops when the amps spikes.
You could do many other ways like using a dpdt and the 611t. But the real key is the 611t from DEI. Was like 10& on ebay.
