Upgrading to Power Mirrors

[douglaslovin]

I have a donor car that has power everything and I have the 99 eclipse RS with power nothing.

I already read the thread about putting power windows in and I can do that.

I could not however find a thread on power mirrors.

Is the same wires for power mirrors hooked up into the door wiring harness for power windows?

Power mirrors add more weight.

I will skip a few meals to make up the difference.

My main reason for doing this is because the plastic plate that covers the mirror knob is all busted + im lazy to fix it

so you’re going to possibly do more work by swapping to the power mirrors.

don’t know personally if all the wiring is already in your car for the mirrors or not but i know that with my 96 talon there are a couple of differences when it comes to things like w/factory alarm... easiest way to tell would be to pull the door panel and check for the connector... also pull the fog light/cruse switch panel and see if the wiring for the mirror switch is there... if not you will need to swap all the wiring harnesses as well...

i have power windows with non power mirrors and when i pull my panels last i had plugs already tucked away there for the power mirrors

Your car should have the connectors for the power mirrors in the door already.
