Billy H - 21 Mar 2006 18:09 GMT
My mother has an R resitered BMW 316i and while refitting an electric window
which had found its way off of the runners the wires for the electric wing
mirror found themselves free.

Does anybody know the refitting pattern for the wires?

I have 6 wires with cylindrical female plugs on the terminals and 7 pins for
them to go on. 4 on top line, 3 on bottom. But I dont know which pins each
terminal connects to. Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

My apologies, The plug has 4 and 2 pins, not 4 and 3.

I've never come across that on any car.

Sounds to me like the car you're talking about has been altered in some
way.

I'm laughing nervously now, my mother informs me the passenger side has
electrics in too.

Sorry for wasting your time :o(

I can easily give you the Euro standard wiring colours for the mirror side
of the plug if this would help.

That may help, if I can interpret it correctly, thanks.

I'll take a look at the pasenger side when I get a chance.
