2010 4Runner Mirrors Worked!

I'd totally love to do this on my '06 TRD Offroad but wiring/splicing stuff isn't my specialty. The wiring diagram earlier in this thread is great, but I feel like a pig staring at a wrist watch. I need pictures and "put this wire in this pin" type of instructions. Anyone in the New Orleans area able to help if I got all of the parts together? Ha!

 

It's super easy

If you where closer to me I'd help you for sure. It's not hard, the hardest prt of the install is running the wires

 

I finally had the day off and time to switch out the 4Runner mirrors to the stock Tacoma bracket. The only thing that I really need help on is the wiring. I saw the original wiring diagram, but I'm confuse as to what connector, wiring or fuse box I'm tapping into to get this functions. All I know is there somewhere on the driver side. What am I actually looking for? Sorry but I'm not much of a electrical expert here. Any help is greatly appreciated

Here's the mirrors that I just finish today.

 

is there an actual writeup on everything needed and how to do it somewhere?

 

Some good info in this thread

all the good info are in this thread, and some are scattered in different threads, but not one solid thread that's on the point that everyone can go by. like I said I'm not much of a electrical expert. I stared at that wiring diagram trying to figure things out. It would be really helpful if someone just simplified it.

 

ok what do you need help with...this diagram is pretty straight forward once you find the plug under the dash and the exact wires coming from the mirrors

 

Are the 4 wires that I put the orange box around all tied together?

 

Yes, when a diagram shows different wires but shows them crossing each they will show a small "hump" indicating the wire isn't connector to the one it just crossed.

On that diagram above your connection the mirrors to the button/power & relay...
Which reminds me, I still need to connect the heated mirrors

 

Jerez, did you get new oem 4runner mirrors or get the aftermarket ones to tighten up,
also what led bulb size for the foot lamps?

 

i kept the aftermarket ones for now because i didnt want to spend more unnecessary money haha
the foot lamps are the 194 led bulbs...same bulbs as in the map lights, rear license plate lights and front corner parking lights

 

Thanks man, I working on getting mine soon...

 

Any new ideas to tighten them up?

 

Naw it's the mirror itself that shakes...only the drivers side tho.
Eventually ill think of something lol

 

Jerez- My bad for the late reply. Installed the mirrors yesterday, the easiest part to wire up was the power for mirrors.

The part that I'm confuse on, on that diagram is the part that has the relay with 85,86,87,87A, and 30. I'm guessing this relay is for the heat function??

Second is the ACC with add a line. What am I adding?

 

That diagram makes my head hurt. Haha.

Here's a pretty simple explaination:


This is the way I would wire it. The Add-A-Circut you plug into the fuse box and it adds another slot for a fuse and and a wire coming out. This would go to the switch. The switch would go to 85 on the relay. 86 on the relay goes to ground. I'm not sure how many Amps the heating element takes. If it's not a lot you can use another Add-A-Circut and wire it to 30 of the relay. If it is a lot I would use an AUX fuse block or wire it to the battery with an inline fuse and connect that to 30 of the relay. Then connect 87 of the relay to the mirrors. You should be able to use 87 for one mirror and 87a for the other, or just use 87 and cap 87a.

 

Wait, if you have a switch that can handle the Amps (I'm not sure if the stock toyota one can) you could do this:

 

Drnknsloth- Cool man. Thanks a lot.

But wait where am I plugging in the Add-A-Circuit, which slot?
Is there a specific type of relay that I need to buy?
Im thinking about using a Highlander switch.

 

Looks like you have an 08 SR5, same as mine, there's a slot in the Fuse panel in the cab behind the coin holder that isn't used that comes on with the ignition if I remember correctly, you can use that.
