Hi, trying to identify a dipping mirror controller, i mean motorised dip not electro chrome dimming/

Its not a bmw system, but i believe built from same supplier as bmw use, as i found a picture on this forum, and it looks *exactly* like what i have, since car manufactureres tend to buy the little bits in, i may be in luck

Its 50/50 I may not be lucky, as the motors look identical for dipping / non dipping, only one has 3 wires and the other about 8, but in the photo, cant count the wires....

heres the photo

So, could that model have come with a kerbside dip?


On mine the motor assembly has two motors and two feedback resistance sensors

these wires run to a control box, that goes to the mirror adjusting switch.

the control box also has a single wire from the reverse lights.

its an old 90's setup, no fancy data bus just power and grounds etc/

So, ring any bells, any chance of a diagram, as if its the same, i need to find two controllers.....

why, because I turned the module over, and wired it up with pin1 now being at the other end, puft.....

I cant find the correct replacement for my car as its rare, so hoping that bmw did buy the same system in
