Rear View Mirror

My mirror was in my trunk when I bought my car. What is it suppose to look like? I don't think I have the right one. I have two plugs coming from my car and only one fits into the mirror. Is the other one for something else?
Or do I have the wrong mirror?
 
Re: Rear View Mirror

I remember asking that same question after I bought my car. The second plug should be for your auto dimmer. Its a little box with an eye that when you turn on your high beemes and another car is coming at you the auto dimmer will automatically dim your lights for you. You can adjust it with the dial that is on the left side of your steering wheel. My car had the plug for it but no dimmer. I asked around and got one from another club member for free so you might want to try that route. Hope that helps.

That helps me a bit more. But where does that little box go? And does anyone have a spare one, anyone in Edmonton specifically?
 
Re: Rear View Mirror

it could be for the electrochromatic mirror as well....

i dont know what years of t-birds that came with though, I think it might only be 94 and up cars.

ill look in mine when I get off work and tell you whats up there for plugs
 
Maybe this pic will help

This pic shows the sensors and control switch but it still requires the multi-function switch (turn signals) and light switch that supports these options. The wiring is usually aready in the harness.

That would really great if you could d othat. Then I don't have to worry about it. Did all SC have the same mirrors?
 
Re: Rear View Mirror

T-Birds & Cougars had 2 types of rear view mirrors depending on whether there was a sunroof or not.
