Do you not have the middle wiring loom that would be under the dash ? There are LHD and RHD versions.

Looks a bit complex ! lots of connections for the complete door loom set up, maybe a simplified version as suggested above if its just the mirrors you want to power. There is wiring diagrams for the mirrors and windows etc in the Bentley manual .

I've got the circuit diagram for electric mirrors on South African vans, the colours are different but it shows the interconnections. Each mirror has wiring for the adjustment motor, the solenoid which switches between vertical and horizontal adjustment, and the mirror heating element.
It looks like the three way connectors take the power to the motors and solenoid and the return from the motors, the two way connectors take the power to the heating elements and the returns from them and the solenoid.
The three way connectors then go to the switch.

I need help with this guys.
I have bought some mirrors with the loom hanging out the bottom of each mirror and an electric mirror switch.
The wires have spade connectors on them and appear uncut and original.
Any help just getting the mirrors operational?
Heating and electric would be ace.
