Connecting up was easy enough but there was no response to the mirror. Checking the terminals again I found no voltages. So it looks as if I have blown a fuse. Rest of car runs okay though. The interior fuse box is in the most incredibly difficult position possible. It is right above the wheel...

I did try but didn't work out for me. Probably need correct tools. Will use a five-way terminal block connector insulation taped. Didn't have any waterproof sleeves. Might get some.

Unfortunately not. Although the endoscope has a slanted mirror for sideways viewing, it is not clear view. And I don't want to tilt the mirror any more or pull it off in case it does damage. Perhaps when the mirror is working I might be able to see further to satisfy our curiosity.

There is no switch in the car to fold the mirrors. The invoice from the supplier said "Adjustment: Electric & Heated (5‐Pin Connector), Fold Type: Manual Folding". So if the green is for electric folding a different part inside would have been installed with an extra plug.

I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks. Any thoughts as where that extra green inside the new mirror is used for?

Using the female plug I have ascertained the voltages of the wires to the old male plug in the way suggested by Sharpend. Using the wiring diagram I found: Grey=Terminal A=up 12v Red=Terminal B=left 12v White=Terminal C=down and right=12v The Brown wire next to the empty slot=approx16v...

Noted about not cutting and joining. By the way you mention RED twice. Shouldn't one be black? Raining here in east Kent - we need it!

Just noticed that the image I sent as the old female plug was in fact the bottom of the male plug. I've replaced it with the correct female plug.

Jolly good and useful advice and I want to get on and do it. But feeling a bit unwell today and it's pretty cold and depressing outside. So I'm sorry I'm not able to do this at present and will report back in due course. Thanks so much.

Thanks for your suggested joining new to old. However before doing that I have a multi meter and have posted an image of it into the link and also an image of the old female plug. I have only used the MM to test connectivity of a circuit (top left) and to find how much life there is in 9v and...

Thanks Sharpend. I've added the wiring diagram from the manual. I've seen the link about the Suzuki Swift you sent. However although the old plug is identical to mine the new plug there has a blue wire. Also the conclusion reached about matching the wires to join doesn't seem to be applicable to...

Thanks Geoff1946. Here is my post with a link to Google Drive. A brand new replacement wing mirror for my Suzuki 2012 SX4 ZS5 (heated but not retractable) fitted beautifully with no problems except connecting the electrics. Here is a link to view the images referred to below...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to start a thread on a problem I have with the electrics of a wing mirror.  It's an issue where to make things clear I will have to send four images to show the problem I have. I hope I can do this. Regards
