    Looks like the 2 plugs not currently connected would attach at the 2 high ports

    I will be buying the oem radio that was suppose to be in my truck from factory. ebay has it for $100, connect the mystery plugs behind it, connect the mirror harness to get the compass working using the pigtail I purchased on ebay, connect the Bluetooth mic so it can work with the new to me truck appropriate radio. This simple mirror harness question has turned into a radio swap, harness reconstruction and Bluetooth mic connecting endeavor.

    I do appreciate all your help

    If you're feeling patient, I would solder and heat shrink all those connections too. Then you'll never have to worry about it.

    Pulled to OHC and found the bluetooth wired & connected. The white plug behind the radio is the bluetooth. We are making progress

    So it turns out that the 5 wires that were cut belonged to the mirror.
    The break down was as follows
    1) main power red wire
    2) main ground black wire in mirror white with grey strip in the truck harness
    3) ignition green and green

    #4 & #5 i believe pertain to the reverse mode which deactivates the auto dim

    4) light grey from harness and yellow wire from the truck harnesss
    5) red wire in the mirror harness and red in the truck

    I was able to figure out which was the main power(red wire) by touching the red wire with the green ignition wire. That caused the dash lights and ac to come on.

    The truck was previously wrecked. It appears that a passenger was hurt & splattered blood all over the headliner. Just random stuff that happens when you buy used.
