i have just replaced the screen on the mig for a heat reflective sensor screen. got the sensor and the mirror. behind the head cloth i have 3 plugs. but none of them fit the sensor or fit the auto mirror. am i missing something?

Different plugs early to late...either obtain the mirror/sensor to match your car loom or the tails to match the mirror and sensor you have

davieboy0312 · « **Reply #2 on:** 27 August 2015, 21:25:26 »

the loom came from a 2000 facelift and the sensor came from a 2002 vectra if that help

would a pic of the plugs help?

Pre or post facelift? That said, being ex job, all bets are off without seeing it... $:-\$

probs is the mirror now, it has a long thin plug the only one left behind is a 3 pin by 2 pin square plug

05omegav6 · « **Reply #8 on:** 27 August 2015, 22:00:09 »

Would need to physically see the plugs to identify them... But absolutely no guarantees of what wiring is left in the roof $:-\$

That's sunroof and microphone plugs...

Keep digging, you're missing at least 2 plugs if not 3...

Might be behind the big foam block...

davieboy0312 · « **Reply #12 on:** 27 August 2015, 23:18:00 »

thats every single plug that was there al. do i have a odd ball??

05omegav6 · « **Reply #13 on:** 27 August 2015, 23:31:59 »

Plod could have used the wiring for all sorts, and simply chopped it out at the passenger kick panel

All mime have still had all the plugs present, but the wiring wasn't always intact $:-\$

Follow my guide for dropping the headlining and see what's up there

davieboy0312 · « **Reply #14 on:** 27 August 2015, 23:37:19 »

had the shell come back on monday from painter. refitted the loom today and ran up the passenger pillar to the head cloth. that was all the plugs there are. is it like the rear blind loom and might be a joining piece for the sensor? i hope

where is your guide?

05omegav6 · « **Reply #15 on:** 27 August 2015, 23:39:44 »

If the shell is stripped, and that is all you have, then that is all you have $:-\$

Guide is in the maintenance guide section

When I did my autodim I found that the plug in this picture has the correct wires. +ve -ve and reverse switch. Easily double checked with a meter

Using the picture at the bottom of the guide I located the wires in the mirror, removed both plugs and soldered the wires to each other. Works a treat dims and disables when in reverse.

If the headlining is out and you haven't seen it, then no

All.runs up.The passenger a pillar...

The bigger plug could be the mirror one then, in which case you can swap the wires into your Later mirror

Oh well back to manual wipers

05omegav6 · « **Reply #25 on:** 28 August 2015, 01:18:09 »

Vw99 relay could be the next best thing

Besides, the car willstill look liie it has a sensor fitted, which is nice

TheBoy · « **Reply #26 on:** 31 August 2015, 12:35:19 »

As that option was not an option in 2000, there won't be any wiring in the loom for it. So that's why you can't find it.

TBH, its really, really, REALLY not worth the effort.

davieboy0312 · « **Reply #27 on:** 31 August 2015, 12:38:01 »

Already got the adjustable wipers will stick with that

Or "oh look - it's that fine shitty drizzle that falls 50% of the time in Cornwall - a slow, intermittent wipe would be perfect right now. I think I will switch the auto wipers on. Oh they are on, let's try speed 1. Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape. Let's try auto again,
