LT heated door mirrors - wiring for westy california

[Westy End]

Hello all

I have seen a post in the distant past (thought i had book marked it but they have disappeared) which said how to wire LT door mirrors to the rear windscreen demister switch. Is it as simple as one wire to the positive out from that switch leading to both mirrors (and rear screen) and the other wire to earth?

a link to the post will do if anyone can find it.

many thanks

thought I'd bump this one as i have made progress but now need some electrics help.

I have run wires from the heated mirrors to the cab - one live and one earth. Can i just splice the live ones into the switched live of the rear demister or would that overload it?

anyone done this?

thanks

I figured this one out for myself - the wiring for the heated mirrors in a westy runs off the same circuit as the rear heated window - so splice the two live feeds to the mirrors together and then splice them into the live of the rear heated window circuit - ie the switched live coming from the dash switch. hook up the earths and jobs a good un.

Do you think you could spare a couple of minutes to take a pic of the back of the heated scree switch please so that I can see what colour wires go to which pins? Many thanks coming your way if you could.

Hi there, your van is 1989 so likely to be the following:

for the light - grey/blue live and brown earth

for the defogger Black/white live from fuse 14 on the fuse board and white green switched live to the rear defogger via a couple of connectors (the wire turns black from the first connector to the rear).

At least that is what Bentley says.....

That's much appreciated, know how do I determine where those fix to the switch?
