Tonio Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Hi newb here... 92 WD21 XE Looking to see if its possible to add/mod side view mirrors on the wifes Pathy to a powered set. I 'm guessing the SE model had them , but not sure of when they aded them ' 93 maybe? Anyone know , or have a resource I can research ? I see Dorman has the mirror assy 955-1520, but wondering if Pathy's back then had builds that the internal wiring is available, and maybe add the switch.? Or would full rewire would be required? Appreciate any help !!

Slartibartfast Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The '89 manual shows power mirrors, so they've been around at least that long. The '95 manual shows power mirrors with heat, but it looks like the heater plug is separate, so a heated mirror assembly may still plug into an early harness (just wouldn't have heat). Many things are pre-wired, but I don't know about the door harness. I'd say remove a mirror and see if there's a wiring harness stuffed in behind it.

Rockclymr Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 There should be 2-3 wire connectors, 1 for the mirror motor and 1 for the heater in the door (probably folded back and taped to the main door harness) that are for this. The mirror circuit is on the same fuse as the Blower mtr and Radio with a additional circuit going to the rear defogger relay to activate the heater element. The harness connection for the switch will be prewired as well just have to get a switch and plug everything in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonio Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks for the welcome Slartibartfast. '89's had em - good to know ! yeah, not concerned about the mirror heater out here in SO-CAL. Will have to dig in the door cavity to see if there is a wire harness, if not good time to add it Rocklymr- suppose the motor is in the mirror assy ? I may need to go to a junkyard for the switch- but I'll look around on parts site diagram - kinda doubt they are available anymore though. Thanks for the circuit info- will go into the door panel and confirm if the wire harness is actually there. Thanks again guys. I'll try to update as thing get going.

adamzan Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I know Tungsten on here added the heated ones to his 91. I think only 93-95 had heated and power. The rest were just power. I'd definitely check the door for the harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
