bobmac Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) just a quick post to say thanks to Martin for all his assistance, I couldn't find a responsible grown up to fit the mod, so with delusions of competence I forged ahead, two hours later nothing was working ( rather it was but not as it was supposed to, everything worked opposite way round) after using short words and many pictures Martin finally got me through it step by step, pleased to say all now up and working, many many thanks to Martin for his patience, Edited February 20, 2013 by bobmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Fitted this unit and it seems to be working... Had a question, is there a reason why the mirrors do not unfold when you unlock the car but only when you turn ignition on? - I know this is by design, but wondered why?

Had a question, is there a reason why the mirrors do not unfold when you unlock the car but only when you turn ignition on? - I know this is by design, but wondered why? Its to do with the way the BCM operates the door solenoid with no unique clean signal on the unlock command. For lock it sends a clean signal. For unlock it seems to send the same lock command as well as an unlock signal to the solenoid to tell it actually unlock not lock. There is a bit of circuitry in the solenoid module to do this. Its in the first post in this thread. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Mine arrived today! Getting stuck in now, first difference to all the guides is that first screw in the door pull - its not there. I don't know if this is facelift models onwards or just HR's. but the window control panel litterally just prises off, no screw Now to see if there are any other differences....

Scully Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So after messing up last night, and splicing into the wrong cable, got it working tonight! Hurrah! A bit intermittent at first but once tidied up and secure in place it was fine did have a problem where the switch worked the opposite way round but the auto was fine - so I just switched the grey and white pins around in the module plug. All good now! There are differences in some of the wire colours on the HR, but if you use cookbots guide and use the same pin locations in the plugs it's fine.

wizard Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I have a general question on this module which I'm wondering if anyone else is having an issue with: Once the ACC circuit is on, you must wait until the mirrors are unfolded before starting the car. If you do not wait for this and start the car then the mirrors do not unfold fully. Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? (wouldn't be an issue if my folding mirror switch was working with the module ofcourse! ) Edited March 4, 2013 by wizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I don't have this problem and my ACC is on all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not wait for this and start the car then the mirrors do not unfold fully. Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? (wouldn't be an issue if my folding mirror switch was working with the module ofcourse! ) Hi Mate, First of all I think you mean the acc on the ignition ie the accessory circuit, not the Air conditioning circuit which is what I think SteveW means. As there are no limit switches on the mirrors to give feedback on their positions the unit works on a 5 second timed cycle which gives enough time for the mirror to fold or unfold without straining the motors and gears. If you start cranking the car starter before the mirrors are unfolded you may be stealing all the juice from the battery especially if its not in the best charged condition. This could stop the mirrors from unfolding during the 5 second period the circuit is live. I don't think this happens on my car but I will check later. If it happens to all the cars with the unit fitted then its probably not suitable to be fitted to a getaway car Have you tried my suggestions about the lights etc stopping the mirror from folding/unfolding. It could all be related to a low current/voltage output from the battery. As to the manual switch I am looking for an early (03) JDM wiring diagram at the moment to see if there are any differences. There are wiring differences between cars as some people have had the switch work in reverse and have had to change over 2 wires but I have not heard of a switch not working all together once all the connections have been double checked.

SteveW Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 My bad misunderstood acc for AC! Do'h. Either way I don't have the other problem either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Double checked mine and nothing stops it unfolding/folding. Lights, aircon, heated rear screen, fan on high, wipers, radio, indicator etc all on when ignition turned off. Lock doors then unlock and start immediatly. No issues. Mirrors continue to unfold with as much current drain as I could muster. I think it could be a loose connection or dodgy battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hello, Just to give an update to everyone if they have this problem in the future: Issue: After installation of Martin's unit, I suffered two showstopper issues: 1) The mirror switch didn't fold the mirrors on command always. Intermittently didn't work. 2) Swiching the main lights or side-lights to the on position and then switching them off would result in the mirrors folding. Solution: The unit was earthed with the 'mirror' switch which turned out to be too weak so the earth was run to the electric window switch which then resolved both issues. Hope this helps.

Alex Kiesl Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi Flyboy! Just saw this thread and instantly felt that I need this mod for my 370Z! Is your module working for the 370Z now? Would love to have one! Still one left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
