Dunno what all the fuss is about :roll:

1 little relay, 1 wire cut, bobs your aunty. :P

https://youtu.be/NeBz9Sh-HZ8

Needs fine tuning tho, unlock is too fast first time so it flinches and you have to press unlock again, nothing happens on single lock (as me and allcocks engineering wanted) then double lock does it, presently it is dumb so can keep doing it on multiple presses and can be opposite so i expect it'll get quite annoying at some point until modification of some kind can be made :D

Well what do you want for nought like?

Relay output (ground either side) to the mirror connector pin 4 and pin 8(just a bridge)

Then at the actuator connector (it's numbered 1-8) you want pin 3(this is listed as ajar in the ford diagrams and you'd want pin 6 but you don't as i found out that ford diagram ppl are morons and thick as fook bloody waste of 13 pounds bloody Ford)
So just cut pin 3 wire about 15mm from the connector or more and then join each end to the other legs of the repay coil, how it works is both locks are ground at rest then you unlock it and the bcm internal relay output goes live so the relay coil is energised let's say pos to neg, then you press double lock and the relay coil is energised neg to pos, it works because the coil is just am electromagnet.

Wow loot you blow my mind 8)

Remove the door panel and the connector is far right just behind the sound proof and just unclips dead easy :P

The wires are all black so just use the pin info i said.

I want to make it so that if i press unlock then it opens the mirrors but then nothing if i repeat, then the same for double lock. Needs to be a bit professional eh :o
There may be a circuit we can use in stead of the relay but the trouble with circuits is you need to know what the circuit is/does in order to get 1 :roll:

More testing for now tho.

Aren't you a clever boy with your mirrors (ford warranty now void :lol: )

What fookin warranty? Sis they did it? I did :mrgreen:

Auto roll up has been avaiable for a long time, sir limitedblack fitted auto up/down I his airport taxi i believe 8)

It works on similar principle there's 2 relays which throw when activated but never have either window powered in a way that will short out.

Lucky i had the pram rails to hold.
Bit annoyed because the rear rubber bung has had a sharp blade around it to install the vinyl and there is brown there which I'm going to lacquer over once i clean it.

Found some turtle wax compound in the garage new in the tub, might have a little look see :D

My invertor is only 1000w so no abuse it cuts off :(

At least you only had the roof I got the whole thing, and it's not responding very well to the heat , still breaks off in tiny little pieces. Image

Going to have to get myself a couple of them, hope its easy to do as am a bit dumb when it comes to electrics, I'll probably end up with the wipers activating instead of the windows closing :lol: N
