Subaru compass mirror install

The Donnelly mirror has this simple electrical connector, with just three wires. After a bit of online research , I learned that the blue wire goes to ignition power, the black one goes to ground, and the green one gets grounded when the car is in reverse in order to disable the auto-dimming feature.

I'm not worried about my mirror auto-dimming when I'm backing into a with the landing lights on, so I'll ignore the green wire. Using the charging connector on the Junkyard Boogaloo Boombox as a power source, I hooked the mirror up to 12 volts DC via test leads.

It will be running on my soon-to-be-multi-compass-equipped Honda any day now. Car Life. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories. Murilee Martin.
