JDM Folding Mirrors - Honda Prelude Forum

L-U-R-C-H · 05-07-2003, 08:59 AM

I am probably going to be buying some JDM Folding mirrors soon with the relay. I was wondering if anyone knew what the relay looks like. The seller has it but he isn't sure if it's the relay for the mirrors. So, if anyone could post a pic of the relay, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

BAM!

that's not the prelude one though. But it's basically what it looks like. It mounts where the stock one mounts (in the drivers side door), you can see it when you take off the door panel.. looks just like it, but the JDM one is white, not maroon. The harness plugs right in, but the mirrors and door locks don't work. You have to change the wiring all around.

L-U-R-C-H · 05-07-2003, 11:27 AM

Anyone know how to wire these things up? A JDM wiring diagram would be really helpful...

carbon-vtec · 05-07-2003, 12:15 PM

yea i should have mentioned that one was from an integra. it was the only one i could find.

L-U-R-C-H · 05-07-2003, 12:27 PM

Well, I bet it probably looks somewhat like the prelude relay...

U.K VTEC · 05-07-2003, 12:28 PM

If you can wait until Saturday, I'll take my door panel off and take some pics of it all.

prelude styl · 05-07-2003, 01:22 PM

ok I'll get off my ass and take my camera into the garage..

prelude styl · 05-07-2003, 01:29 PM

There ya go.

L-U-R-C-H · 05-07-2003, 01:48 PM

That is it? The JDM Relay for the folding mirrors?

No its the USDM relay for folding mirrors.

L-U-R-C-H · 05-07-2003, 01:57 PM

LOL, I was just making sure it was the pic for the folding mirrors and not the USDM mirrors....

Anyone got a wiring diagram now?

Are you sure about this? The one in the door is the door lock control unit, not the mirror controller. I am not sure where the JDM relay mounts but I am fairly sure it is not in the door since it controls both doors.

prelude styl · 05-07-2003, 02:58 PM

yes it's it.. it controls the door locks and mirrors.

L-U-R-C-H · 05-08-2003, 08:35 AM

If anyone is able to grab the wiring diagram, that would be really helpful.

Thanks.

prelude styl · 05-08-2003, 10:11 AM

If could help you with that one, I would.. but that's why I'm able to take pics of it, because it's out of my car, because I haven't figured out how to wire it yet. I opened up the US and JDM ones to compare, and everything is all flip flopped, and is hard to match up. It's gonna take me a while to figure it out. That I know of, noone has a diagram for it.

carbon-vtec · 05-08-2003, 10:53 AM

heres one for an integra.. might be the same

prelude styl · 05-08-2003, 11:11 PM

yeah, it's not even close, there's like a good 15 wires coming out of the Prelude one, that one only has 5.

hey, can you take a picture of your relay? I just would like to see if its the same as the one I have...Im stuck at the same point that you are, wiring ;\

prelude styl · 05-09-2003, 10:19 PM

I already did, they're the 3 pics of the white relay above.

L-U-R-C-H · 05-12-2003, 09:10 AM

Are you guys sure that is the right relay because I found a few pics on ebay of another JDM Mirror Set with the relay. Here are the pics:

mike95 · 05-12-2003, 09:50 AM

Are you guys serious about there being electric folding mirrors? I know they fold, but just manually, but good. I was almost sideswiped once and got hit on the mirror wihc just folded. No damage.

In the land of japan they have all the cool stuff...on these you just press a button and they close...

L-U-R-C-H · 05-12-2003, 01:36 PM

I am just wondering which relay is the correct relay...

xMrM02x · 05-12-2003, 10:38 PM

Ok...here are my two relays

the one on the left is the one that came with them..i just bought the other one the other day..

the one on the left has 9 pins, and the one on the right has 5 pins

L-U-R-C-H · 05-13-2003, 08:55 AM

So the one on the left is the JDM relay?

I'm so confused about which relay is the correct relay...

prelude styl · 05-13-2003, 09:39 AM

the relay on the left there.. that looks like the main/fuel pump relay, no? I think that's what that is.

I'm not sure, that's why I posted...they came w/ my mirrors. Thanks for lettin me kno it could be the main/fuel pump relay, I would have never known

Also, are you sure that the relay on the door is for the mirrors? I was looking at the helms and the only 'relay' it has is the 15A fuse, nothing connects to the the power window/ lock relay...

prelude styl · 05-13-2003, 01:04 PM

In the US version the mirrors aren't connected to the door lock relay, but I think in Japan, they are.

I wouldn't have a problem using the Integra relay except that I think the timing on the relay is different than the prelude one, and the mirrors don't close all the way (I think that's what I remember hearing).

I really wanna know if I have the right relay.
