Is the mirror switch for cars with twin electric mirrors, or just nearside?

Hi Kitch, its a twin mirror type has the 4 direction button and the two way rocker switch with a 3 pin and 4 pin plug on the back.

Hi mate,

Yeah they all have the rocker switch, but I'm pretty sure some of them are wired different. I tried fitting one from a car that only had one leccy mirror to BAH (which has two) and the switch operates both mirrors at the same time, regardless of where the rocker switch is set. Was advised that there might be more than one type of switch, though how true that is I don't know!

Yes I had that problem when I fitted a drivers side electric mirror to my TZD.

The switch came from my old tzd turbo which had 2 elec mirrors-they were both busted so i replaced them with manual type. from what i remember the wiring on the 4 pin connector only has 2 wires in it on the single elec mirror set up and 4 wires on the twin elec mirror, so my guess is the switches are all the same but the wiring differs. if you want to try it i can post it to you.

There is a thread somewhere a few years back where Mat revealed the difference between the rocker switch circuits for one mirror operated from either switch position or two mirrors with the control for LH and/or RH side being dependent on the rocker switch position.
I don't remember if it is possible to hack one to work as one type or the other though.

There's definitely something in it. Mine used to work fine independantly, then I wrecked the switch. Fitted another, it was duff. Took one out of the breaker (which only has N/S leccy mirror) and both mirrors only work simultaneously! Seen this before on other BXs, so assumed the switches must be wired differently, as even the cars with only one leccy mirror still have the toggle switch.

This should explain:
http://www.bxclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic ... 2&start=15

I reckon it was so they could have the same switch and wiring for both RHD and LHD versions of the models (most) which only had one electric mirror, keeping the costs down. Using an existing switch moulding most likely.

Back on topic though, do you have a central locking unit spare please? I damaged mine by soldering to it with an inverter-powered soldering iron, and the earth of the tip was actually at 115 volts above the earth of the car, so 'rather a large' current flowed through it...

Mat, which bit of the central locking unit? is it the bit under the centre console? if so probably.

That's the one, cheers. 7 or 8 way brown connector to it, with 2 yellow wires at one end.
