b) Using multi-meter, locate a wire exiting the junction block that tests
+12 Volts and is controlled by the ignition switch. Operate the vehicles
accessories (power windows, door locks, power mirrors, etc.) to ensure
the voltage does not drop on this wire. (Fig. 2-9)
c) Ensure power in this wire is off when vehicle ignition is OFF.
NOTE: Suggested circuits include cigarette lighter, power port, mirror, power
outside mirrors, sunroof, clock, radio, audio, etc. (Cigarette lighter and power ports
may be switched or constant +12 Volts, depending on vehicle make).
d) Using IDC wire tap, connect RED wire of the EC mirror harness to the
located switched +12 Volt circuit in the vehicle. (Fig. 2-10)
e) See “IDC Wire Tap Procedure” on Page 2, for detailed instructions on
tapping into OEM harness with IDC connector.
NOTE: If desired option is to have HomeLink
®
on switched ignition circuit, secure
Blue wire of EC mirror harness to the RED wire of the EC mirror harness using an
IDC Wire Tap, instead of nding and connecting to constant +12 Volt circuit shown
below.
f) Using multi-meter, locate a wire exiting the junction block that tests
+12 Volts and is always on. Operate the vehicles accessories (power
windows, door locks, power mirrors, etc.) to ensure the voltage does
not drop on this wire. (Fig. 2-11)
g) Ensure power in this wire is on when vehicle ignition is ON and OFF.
NOTE: Suggested circuits include cigarette lighter, power port, dome light, etc.
(Cigarette lighter and power ports may be switched or constant +12 Volts, depend-
ing on vehicle make).
h) Using IDC Wire Tap, connect BLUE wire of the EC mirror harness to
the located constant +12 Volt circuit in the vehicle. (Fig. 2-12)
i) See “IDC Wire Tap Procedure” on Page 2, for detailed instructions on
tapping into OEM harness with IDC connector.
