Heated mirrors. Installation and operating principle


IZH 21261 -070(4x4/UZAM 248-2.0i) › Logbook › Installation of electric and heated mirrors

1. The view of the standard rear mirrors is very small, which is not always good in the city.2. When driving on an uneven road ("ridge") at speed - it is impossible to look in the mirrors normally - they shake strongly, and in especially severe cases they begin to slide.3. Manual adjustment.

Looking at the experience of upgrading rear view mirrors dimakalash

www.drive2.ru/cars/izh/2126/2126/dimakalash/and also armed with the experience of the guys from the IZH 2126 forum,
I decided to install electric and heated mirrors from the Lada Granta (Kalina Lux).
IMPLEMENTATION: Preparation

1. I started by ordering mirrors and seals from Solina #

2. Then at the market I bought a VAZ 2110-12 electric mirror joystick and a ready-made wiring harness for connecting VAZ 2110 electric mirrors with heating. + two four-pin relays (one for heating, and the second for the mirror joystick) + two fuse housings.

3. The third stage was to paint the mirrors in the body color (while painting the body kit);

Installation

Since I installed the mirrors at the dacha and there was no photographic equipment at hand, there are no detailed photos (((1. Dismantle the stock mirrors. 2. Cut out a cardboard template along the mirror overlay and mark the holes on the door. 3. Shorten the mirror mounting posts by 5...7 mm ;4. Drill three holes from the outside (12...13 mm in diameter) and adjust them with a file;5. In the area of ​​the right angle of the triangle of the mirror cover, we file down the stiffening ribs by 2...3 mm, ensuring a tight fit of the mirror to the door.6. Drill three holes from the inside (diameter 6...6.5mm) and prepare M5.7 bolts. We close the standard holes with foam rubber plugs, placing them on the sealant. 8. We also place the seals from the kit on the sealant and pull the mirror to the door.

9. Let’s move on to installing the electrics - I used the diagram of the guys from the drive (special thanks to them)

2. Test on uneven roads showed a stable position of the mirrors.3. Electric drive and heating (worked the first time) - convenience and comfort cannot be expressed in words - cool in general.

Lada 2110 badass › Logbook › Lada Priora SE mirrors on Lada 2110. Connection lasts a month.

More than a month ago I started connecting wiring to the mirrors. It is almost impossible to find a connection kit in stores, so SheremetValery and I went to the Kuzbass market. There I easily found a wiring kit, a joystick and SE plugs for the front fenders.

Mirrors from the new Priora model have the following connector:

To begin with, I dismantled the central tunnel. And so, every time I take it apart, I remember with a kind word the one who came up with the idea of ​​​​making self-tapping screws on the sides of this very tunnel! Then I laid the wiring to the joystick (marked in red):

Then the wires should come out from under and separate on two sides; I put the wires on the right mirror where I marked with an arrow:

In this case, all the snot is then perfectly hidden under standard shields.

Next, I used the connection diagram, taken from the same, not entirely free spaces of the Internet:

I decided to connect the turn signals first. To do this, I dismantled the tidy and began connecting to the red block, and at the same time changed the burnt out light bulbs.

The next step was to pass the wires into the door through this f... hated corrugation, which I successfully tore. Since it was below zero outside, I dropped everything and went home to warm up. Then it turned out that the length of the wiring was not enough, 15-17 centimeters... wow, oh, this “universal kit”. This was the reason for the delayed installation... Well, and also the lack of a garage and the weather:

As soon as the weather returned to normal and I had a free minute, I installed a new corrugation on the driver's door and ran the wires:

It is much easier to remove all the wiring from the door and push everything through the straight corrugation, and then tuck everything into the door. I did the same on the right side. To extend the wires, I soldered pieces to the mirrors, along with old-style connectors. Unfortunately, the photos were not preserved. Then I connected everything in the doors:

I took the mass from the left threshold, and + for the mirrors and for the joystick backlight from the cigarette lighter. All that remains is to connect the heating in the fuse block. So, now the question is: Is there a backlight on the joystick, as in the photo below? Otherwise it doesn't work for me.

Everything functions perfectly) I was very pleased with the work done!

Types of lighting on mirrors

This article will discuss exactly how to connect mirrors with built-in LED lighting. They can be presented in two options:

Perimeter lighting

Depending on the model, the backlight of such products is an LED strip located around the perimeter or sides of the product. The lighting can be internal - located under the mirror surface, or external - when the light comes from the sides, as if from under a mirror.

Decorative lighting

Decorative lighting consists of shaped compositions on a mirror surface through which lighting penetrates. This option does not emit very powerful light, so it is most often chosen as decoration, as a design element of the interior.

Problem and solution

Winter is coming. And here, unfortunately, side rearview mirrors cannot always help the car owner. Winter is a particularly difficult time of year for motorists. We will not now list all possible technical problems, starting with starting the engine, but will touch only on purely mechanical problems:

Let's just remember how in the morning, leaving the entrance and looking around at the cars parked nearby, it is not always possible to immediately understand which one is yours. The reason for the conspiracy is quite banal - overnight snowfall. So, your first task arises to get a shovel or other improvised means and dig out your iron horse After this, we move on to cleaning the body of the VAZ, then the windows of your car. A problem arises, what to do with the rearview mirrors? Ice and snow did not ignore them

However, manual cleaning is extremely problematic due to:

  • Firstly, with the design of mirrors, it turns out that their reflective element is recessed into the body, which makes it difficult to use mechanical cleaning means, such as a brush or scraper
  • Secondly, any attempt to manually clean the reflective surface will ruin the settings, which will render the side mirrors useless
  • Third, if you use too much force, you may scratch or even break them.
  • On the VAZ 2112, heated mirror elements can completely solve such problems

Work principles

The heating of the side reflectors is based on any electric heater (low-temperature, of course), electrical wiring, and a button (on the dashboard) to control:

  • The electrical wiring for heated mirrors is connected to the car's on-board network at twelve volts.
  • Closing the contacts with the power button connects the mirror heating (its heating element) to the network; the electric current passing through the heating element heats up the surface of the mirror, the heated surface begins to melt the formed ice, in addition, the warm surface will stop fogging

Other methods and connection diagram

The largest category of cars that do not have heated mirrors, of course, are all our domestic car models, so the most pressing question for the VAZ 2112 is how to connect heated mirrors, now we will tell you the answer. So:

Installing heating is a very popular variety of tuning procedures, because it is not particularly difficult and is therefore available to every interested car owner, the connection diagram is shown in the photo below

Electrical diagram for connecting heating elements

Of course, when it is urgently necessary to do heating, then the purchase and installation of new mirror elements with a built-in heater is the most popular and most often used option

After this comes the option of replacing or installing only the heating element, so let’s take a closer look at all the nuances of installing a heater on a car:

  • In order to replace the mirror element itself, a VAZ car, the entire body in which it is located does not need to be removed, it will be enough to perform the following steps - we make some efforts to bend the body of our mirror in the direction against the movement of the car
  • In the resulting gap you will see the pin (it is usually white) of the adjusting rod
  • The pin will need to be removed, removed from the housing, then pull out the old mirror element in any direction to stick your fingers into the middle of this element
  • We press on the center of the element, and with slight resistance it should come out of the latch to end up in your hands
  • After this, all that remains is to insert a new heated element, proceeding in the reverse order, and bring the heating filament wiring into the interior

Turn on the heating

Usually only two wires come out of the heating element; when connecting them, you don’t have to observe the polarity, since your connection will still be parallel, and the polarity for the element does not matter:

  • It is recommended to turn on the heated mirrors together with the heated rear window, then you can directly connect the heating elements to the system
  • So that when you turn on the heated rear window, the heated mirror mode also turns on, the plus is that you don’t need an additional relay and a separate power button
  • If there is no system for heating the rear window, or you want to make a connection separately from it, then you need to purchase a power button and an additional relay with a 10 Amp remote fuse.
  • And if you use a ten-amp button during installation, then you can easily do without a relay, and you can connect the heating of the mirror elements directly, since their power consumption is low

We do it ourselves

When you need to make heating from improvised means, then, as already mentioned just above, the easiest way to do this is to use car light bulbs:

This method is universal and suitable for absolutely all cars. First, you need to slightly modify the mirror housing, you need to create a protective heat shield in it. This can be easily done using foil, you can easily glue the housing from the inside. Then you need to place and secure in the housing a socket with a car light bulb screwed into it. It will be important to ensure that the built-in light bulb does not come into contact with either the mirror itself or the housing (since the light bulb will heat up very strongly, contact can damage either the mirror element or melt the housing) In addition, it is possible to perform heating with two different operating modes, the first is a powerful mode designed for quick defrosting and the second is weaker to protect against fogging. This desire can easily be realized by installing a two-pin power bulb (21\5) inside the rearview mirror housing and connecting it accordingly. Then 21 Watt will be act for quick defrosting, and 5W should be enough against fogging

A real case from practice: There are also situations when an owner who bought a used car contacted a service station with a request to install heated mirrors for him. The staff at the station calculated the amount for the installation and parts, then took the advance and then sent the owner home. And when disassembling it suddenly turned out that the heating was already installed, and from the factory

So, the owner, who did not want to read the technical data sheet and operating instructions and simply did not understand that the heating is already there, it is only important to know where it turns on, paid money for work that was not performed by anyone

Methods for turning the mirror lights on and off

Touch activation

non-contact sensor may be located at the end of the mirror. The illumination of mirrors from this group can be turned on or off by raising your hand. When choosing this switching method, please note that access to the sensor must remain free. Therefore, position the mirror so as not to block the passage to the sensor with the entrance door or cabinet doors.

a contact touch sensor on the front surface of the mirror It looks like a glowing circle or square and is triggered when you touch it with your finger.

Plug into socket

Bathroom mirrors with a plug into an outlet are perhaps the simplest connection method. In this case, during installation you will not have to deal with electrical wiring, and turning on a backlit mirror will be no more difficult than a hair dryer or any other electrical appliance.

Switch on the wall

This method is considered one of the simplest; with this connection method, the electronic clock on the mirror will also work when the power is turned off.

Remote control

Controlling the backlight using a remote control is convenient in cases where the mirror is placed in a hard-to-reach place and there is no way to reach a button or sensor. Some models also provide the ability to change the brightness of the backlight thanks to a special control - a dimmer.

Choosing mirrors

We decided to purchase and install heated mirrors ourselves, but the choice is not an easy one, since today a huge number of different models are sold on the markets, which differ in appearance, price and technical characteristics

To help with the choice, we will not describe or list unnecessary details, but rather consider the points that will be important to pay attention to when purchasing

Visual characteristics

An important characteristic is the reflection coefficient, in other words, reflectivity:

  • You can see this value for your car in its passport
  • According to the standard, the reflectance coefficient (reflectivity) for a car mirror must be more than 40 percent
  • Otherwise, you run a high risk of not seeing what’s going on behind your car and getting into an accident.

The second equally important characteristic is the correctness of the transfer (without distortion) of the shape of objects:

  • It is difficult to evaluate this characteristic
  • All you have to do is look at your reflection in the sample being tested.
  • And if your reflection resembles the reflections in the funhouse mirrors, then you should not purchase such a product

In addition, you should pay attention to the presence of an anti-reflective coating on the mirror element:

  • Only high-quality “tinting” will protect your eyes from being blinded by reflected light.
  • However, it is worth considering the fact that excessive darkening further reduces reflectivity and can lead to incorrect color rendering

Mechanical characteristics

When purchasing heated side mirrors, you need to pay close attention to the position adjustment present, as well as on what principle it is implemented:

  • For example, if you take standard mirrors from a VAZ 2110, they have a lever adjustment mechanism, which has a number of disadvantages
  • Therefore, a cable mechanism is more preferable, since it is smoother and has better adjustment accuracy compared to a lever mechanism.
  • However, the ultimate dream of every car owner, without any doubt, is electrically controlled elements
  • In this case, a joystick is located inside the car, with which you can easily set the location of the side mirrors as you prefer.

It is worth recalling a point that applies not only to the choice of mirrors. Rather, this is a general recommendation that everyone needs to remember when purchasing any spare part:

Immediately pay attention to the quality of the mirror element, carefully inspect all the parts of the case. The parts should show cracks, scratches, chips, or other mechanical damage. In addition, you should pay attention to the packaging and branded packaging. Any self-respecting manufacturer supplies its products exclusively in branded packaging, it usually indicates the address and telephone number, and also contains detailed information about the model. Therefore, feel free to open the box to make sure that there are instructions inside in your native Russian language, as well as an installation diagram. In addition, an important factor is the presence of the necessary fasteners in this kit, a set of wires and seals, which will allow you, during self-installation, to reduce additional costs, in addition, significantly reduce the time required to complete the work

Heating efficiency

Another parameter that interests us, for the sake of which all the actions were done:

  • Because ultimately you need a mirror that will be able to work effectively under adverse conditions
  • We need to evaluate the heating rate and quality of the heating element and how quickly moisture, snow and icing will evaporate from the surface
  • You won’t be able to evaluate such phenomena on your own without special sensors and a computer program, so all you have to do is connect and test in real conditions, observe visually and record the time

This concludes, additionally watch the video on this topic, good luck in installing the heating.

Lada Largus TANK › Logbook › Rear view mirrors. Ready.

Good afternoon. It depends on you, but I didn’t like the standard mirrors. So I saved up some money and ordered... other mirrors. Mirrors from Euro Duster. I've been traveling for 2 months. What can I say. These are just normal mirrors. Left. I’m driving along the ring and in the left mirror I see cars behind driving along the ring, that is, much to the left of me.

On right. A car is in a blind spot in the next lane. I can see either her hood through the window or her stern in the mirror. This is beyond words! I overtook the car and it was immediately in the mirror.

Behind. Easier to park. Head up a little and you can see where the stern is moving, although you can’t see the wheels, but it’s still clear where you’re going.

Fat plus. The side windows are clean! These are just normal mirrors. That's how they should be.

Fat minus. The mirror elements are shaking. I haven’t looked yet to find out what the reason is and how to solve it. But it's a fact. But I won’t return the old ones. Another minus. The adjustment is turned to maximum. Both mirrors are to the left and up, and it’s just not enough, it would be a little more up.

Description of the mirrors themselves. I have a manual one, without heating. They say that with an electric drive there are no downsides. Installation. I took off the trim, unscrewed the bolts, removed the mirror, screwed on a new one, and put the trim in place.

Price: 3,600 ₽ Mileage: 98,000 km

Replacing elements in the side mirrors of VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

One winter morning, while trying to clean the mirrors, the left mirror element burst. So my wife and I drove around with such a mirror, fortunately the crack did not interfere much. With the onset of warmer weather, it was decided to replace this mirror element, and since... They are not that expensive (the mirrors are standard with lever adjustment), so it was decided to replace both, and even have them heated. (A very useful thing - I have it on the six, it wouldn’t hurt here either). In addition, the adjustment lever of the broken mirror broke

Broken adjustment lever

After a short search I found these mirror elements (not advertising)

Then everything is simple, because... Since the old elements were no longer really needed, they were dismantled without much concern. And new ones were installed in their place.

Left mirror - aspherical

I haven’t turned on the heating yet, I’m waiting for the right moment.

It is very unusual to look into an aspherical mirror. You can see much more in it than in the standard one. But there are slight distortions, although this is a matter of habit.

In general, standard mirrors, or rather the adjustment mechanism, with its huge gaps, are some kind of G. We will save up for normal mirrors. If not electric ones, then definitely cable ones.

Lada 2110 1.6 gold of the Incas › Logbook › Installation of mirrors from Lada Priora on a VAZ 2110

Hello everyone:) Having stumbled upon prior mirrors at an extremely competitive price, I couldn’t resist and bought this miracle of technology. The product includes electrical adjustment and heating. I’ll tell you right away, look for chips for the connectors! I personally haven't found them anywhere. I had to use collective farm clamps in electrical tape.:(So let’s begin. I’ll say right away that I took the mirrors from my hands. Therefore, there were no fasteners, no wiring, no diagrams.

I needed mounting screws - 6 pcs. Mirror control unit - 1 pc. The mounting wire I had was only 0.75 mm in cross-section, but it could be less than 6 pieces of three meters each (preferably multi-colored. Mounting terminals

Take twenty-five pieces, they will come in handy. Electrical tape Also decorative corner covers - 2 pieces. (I didn’t find them) House connectors 3 pin - 2 pcs. 9 pin - 1 pc.

Attention, I didn’t have time to connect the heating (it needs: Connectors - 2 pcs. wire 4 x 3 meters. If you connect it to a separate button, you will also need a relay with a button. I’ll write about this later. 1

We lower the window to make it more convenient. Remove the decorative cap from the mirror adjustment knob. Unscrew the self-tapping screw and remove the manual mirror adjustment knob. Use a slotted screwdriver to remove the decorative plastic corner. Underneath we see a fastening made of three screws and three washers. ATTENTION! SELF-TAPPING SETS! Take care of purchasing fasteners right away (go and try them on and buy them right away). The new mirrors needed like six cogs. We unscrew these three screws, you can leave the washers. Carefully remove the mirror.2. Next, we take out new mirrors and carefully place them so that the mounting holes match. We pull the connectors with the wiring through the round hole for the manual mirror adjustment rod. See Fig.1

Next, we attach the fasteners, holding the mirror on the other side. Moving it, we find the optimal position and tighten the fastening screws

ATTENTION! be careful not to overtighten, otherwise you will hear a characteristic crunch, which does not bode well))). We repeat a similar sequence of actions for the right mirror.3. We remove the covers with holes for heating the driver's and passenger's feet, the gearshift lever handle together with its corrugated boot, and also remove the decorative insert under the handbrake

We knock out the decorative trim of the installation location of the mirror control unit. pry it up with a slotted screwdriver and take out the power window control unit. I'll explain why. There are two connectors for controlling the power windows of the rear doors installed from the factory. I'm not going to use them, because... The rear windows are tinted and there is no need to pull them here and there. We find such a free connector there

Life hack: side mirrors on Priora - removal and installation

Good visibility is important for safe driving. While driving, the driver always has to “keep his finger on the pulse” so as not to get into an unpleasant situation (accident). The side mirrors on the Priora are initially made quite well - the viewing angle is enough to sit still when reversing or changing lanes. This is not a joke, it’s really like a Kruzak review. After the Priorovskie cars I get into other cars and I miss my familiar overview. Mirrors on Priora come with turn signals (repeaters); this is the Special Edition version of Lada (luxury) Priora cars. The price of these is naturally more expensive, but not by much 900 rubles. They can be installed on a regular Priora. Turn signals in mirrors are a newfangled theme and they look beautiful and are also practical.

All that remains is to properly disassemble the mirror and make friends with the wires. Indeed, to install the modernized version you will have to put a lot of effort into finding reasons. You can do simple tuning, if you want to change the appearance to a more curly one - just put covers on the mirrors. It seems like a small change, but the car looks more solid with them.

Who hasn’t felt the thrill of using a car after ten, or a classic, freezing the car in winter - heating seems to be a common thing, but this was not the case on the VAZ. The heated mirrors of the Priora car are implemented using spirals. Often turning on heating in wet weather, a mark forms on them. Despite this, after 6 years of use, they have not faded.

Mirrors (Topaz), with electric drive and heating, black for VAZ 2110-12, Priora

The stylish design of the mirrors will give your car a beautiful appearance , and the increased size of the glass will allow you to fully control the movement of the car.

Installation does not require special skills and tools , because... completely identical to installing standard mirrors. The mirror mounting base does not require modification.

The price is for a set: right and left mirror, mirror adjustment module + mounting brackets.

Mirror adjustment is electrically adjustable .

Communities › VAZ: Repair and Improvement › Blog › Installation of heated “ERGON” mirror elements.

Due to the onset of cold weather and the freezing of mirrors, I was tired of driving in complete ignorance. It was decided to buy ERGON heated mirror elements.

I took it with blue anti-glare, left aspherical, right sphere.

I took off the mirrors, took them home, washed them, and dried them.

And the installation process began. I took a screwdriver and pressed sharply from below, closer to the middle,

click and the mirror came out of the clutch, pulled to remove it from the adjusting plate,

and it ended up in my hands.

I performed a similar operation with the next mirror. I read on the forums that mirrors burst, but for some reason they all remained intact. Then I installed new mirrors, stretched the wires, put them on the adjustment plate and pressed sharply on the center until they clicked.

Then the most interesting thing awaited me - connecting them. Because I laid out the heating wires in advance; when I installed the ESP buttons from Kalina, I didn’t need to remove the door trims, but only connect them to the wires.

After reading the forums, it was decided to connect everything according to this scheme.

The advantage of this connection for me is, obviously, I don’t use the rear heating often, and therefore a separate button is just right for me. In the store I bought a regular 4-pin relay, an air conditioner button, a block, terminals, etc. And according to the diagram, I ran the wires, secured the relay and connected everything.

The power, namely the plus that appears after ignition, was taken from the ChYa from the Sh5 block.

Plus I took the permanent one from the wire that goes to the mayfun. I checked it.

IT WORKS! And since it’s warmer here now, testing has been postponed. But I think this is a necessary thing, and it will help me out more than once. By the way, the mirrors were very pleasing with their visibility, at first it was even somehow unusual, almost the dead zones driving behind were gone the freaks are no longer so blinding, and you get much more pleasure from driving. I didn’t really like the backlighting of the button, it’s kind of dim and you can’t understand what color it’s shining in, either white or green, there’s no indication of switching on yet, but that’s in the next blog post.

Self-replacement of mirror glass on a VAZ 2110

The mirror element is an integral part of the rear view mirror on the VAZ 2110 vehicle. Naturally, there are many modernized mirror designs, but regardless of innovation, a specialized mirror element plays a key role. It is this that provides high-quality display from a certain angle, which allows the driver to see all the necessary obstacles while driving. The creators repeatedly produce these components in the form of a separate spare part, which, if necessary, can be removed and replaced or repaired.

Types of mirror elements and their structure

It is important to note that competent service center professionals claim that it is quite difficult to carry out the procedure associated with replacing mirror parts on the rear view mirror of a VAZ-2110. This is due to the fact that the part has a rather fragile structure and can be damaged. Situations often occur when, during the process of replacing the mirror housing, the element itself is damaged.

This leads to various negative consequences. Before you independently replace such a mirror part, you need to understand exactly that the unit consists of four main components:

  1. Mirror element;
  2. Frame;
  3. Mechanism for setting the deflection angle;
  4. Bracket.

Professionals believe that such a part has almost the same structure and consists of fundamental parts, namely: a plastic base that secures the mirror, a platform, guides, a latch and a lock.

Basic faults

Additions to the conventional mirror element make driving even more comfortable. Just in case, the repeater makes it clear to inattentive traffic participants where the driver is going to go. Heating will promptly evaporate moisture - raindrops, and will not leave stains that distort the image. The following malfunctions may occur during operation of the machine:

The fasteners have become loose. Each part is held in place by several fasteners at different points. They may become so loose that tightening them will be useless. Everything will depend on the severity of the damage. In some cases, replacing the fasteners will be sufficient. The heating does not work. Check the connection of the wire blocks. Perhaps it is enough to strengthen the wire connections so that they no longer come loose. The electric drive does not work. Adjusting the position of mirror devices while sitting in your seat is much more convenient than doing it manually. Check the wiring. Turn signal repeater. If the repeater does not work, it means the signal is not reaching it. The problem, again, is the wiring. Broken mirror element. It will be enough to replace it with a new part, but during replacement you should be extremely careful

It is important to prevent splinters from getting under the cover.

Daewoo Lanos full SX 1.6 16v t150 › Logbook › Installing heated mirrors

Last winter I set myself the task of installing heated mirrors, but it didn’t last the whole summer. And now autumn has come, there is nowhere left to pull, I bought universal heating elements on the market, selected the size of the element according to the location, there were also large ones, but they will need to be trimmed, losing half the threads in this element, and as a result, a narrow heating range is obtained + Well, in fact, the cut threads also carry tension and remain without insulation. This element that I chose does not need to be cut, since it is smaller than a mirror and does not cover only the edges of the mirrors. In my opinion, this is not critical, the edges also heat up, but a little longer, transferred by heat from the center of the mirror (you can see everything in the last photo).

All that remains is to remove the mirror and disassemble it, connect it to the heated rear window and the heated mirrors turn on together with the rear window, this is done on most foreign cars from the factory and does not interfere with each other + easy installation, no relays needed, etc. A few instructions from memory, which I looked at on the Internet.1. Remove the mirror from the car2. We lift the mirror element towards ourselves and try to snap it off. It is held on by 4 latches, the main thing is to at least cut off two, if it doesn’t work, pry off these latches with a screwdriver, while pulling the side you are prying towards you

3. When you take out the mirror, you need to peel off the mirror element from its plastic body, the main thing is to heat it up and everything comes off like clockwork. I heated it with a hairdryer and I think this is the most correct thing, many who don’t have a hairdryer heat the mirror in boiling water, I think this is wrong, because then you collect and also heat the mirror with the plastic on which the sealant remains in boiling water, then when wet this sealant does not stick to the mirror element.

4. We peel off the film that is glued to the back from the mirror element and degrease it with anti-silicone from the remaining sealant so that the heating sticks well.

5. We glue the heating onto the mirror, but initially we need to try it on well so that we can install it as centrally as possible so that the contacts (+ -) do not interfere with reassembly.6. In the plastic housing of the mirror element I drilled two holes for heating contacts7. We heat the mirror element and its plastic body with sealant, glue them back together8. All that remains is to thread the wires, I used 1.5 squares, you must first pull the mirror cables through the shaft, to do this you need to unscrew 3 bolts with a Phillips screwdriver in the place where the mirror bends. Take a screwdriver that is suitable in size and not blunt, otherwise you will knock off the edges, since these bolts are tightly clamped there, they may even have soured, then don’t drill them out anyway. I left the wires in the mirrors a little extra so that there would be no tension if I needed to take the mirror apart again. The “mothers” for the heating contacts were covered with heat shrink.

9. The minus (-) for the mirrors did not go far; it can be connected to any nut or bolt on the door. I connected it under the nut of the window lift motor.

10. Plus (+) stretched through the door block and under the dashboard, both from one door and from the second door to the fuse block at the driver's feet, there we find a braid of wires that goes to the rear of the car, the thickest among all is lilac (purple, like who is comfortable) wire, and without removing the insulation using two wire connectors with a U-contact, I powered the mirror wires to this, why two connectors? The (+) left mirror was connected to the (+) right one, and then the (+) right one was connected to the (+) heated rear window (thick lilac wire in a braid), it could have been done with one, but the connector is designed for a wire of up to 2.5 kV. Then isolate the whole thing well

I measured how much load one mirror takes, it turned out to be in the range of 1.2-1.3A, I attach a photo

Wiring electric mirrors VAZ 2110

Good afternoon everyone.
I decided to touch on the banal topic of installing heated and electrically controlled mirrors from Priora 2 on a VAZ 2110. I don’t see the point in describing all the delights of owning these mirrors, but I will dwell on the installation of wiring in more detail. I hope my experience will be useful. What we buy: 1.Prior 2 mirrors, without turn signal, not painted, heated and electrically adjustable. I'm afraid to make a mistake with the manufacturer, Ulyanovsk or Nizhny Novgorod. When disassembling the mirrors for painting, Chinese electric motors were found inside. Let's hope they won't let us down. Price 1300 rubles (as of February 2016) Samara, Rakita market;

3. Mirror control joystick 12.3769. Suitable for regular place. Convenient to manage. Has a “middle” position. The control handle does not stick out, unlike the UAZ one. Price 550 rubles, (as of July 2016) Samara, Rakita market;

4. Block for wires, for 9 females. Price 30 rubles, (as of July 2016) Samara, Rakita market; Why did you buy the wiring harness 2110.8201326-41? I was hoping to save time on installation. Did not work out. Considering that the UAZ joystick was not used and it was necessary to add 15 cm to each mirror. A waste of money. In my opinion. The only positive point is the connectors already connected to ground (black wire) with a ring tip, heating (brown), joystick backlight (yellow) and power (white). We open the connectors behind the mounting block and insert our wires into the gap.

Guys, before starting any electrical work, turn off the power to the system. This will save you from a lot of trouble.

We find the power connector for the heated rear window (gray wire with a red streak), connect it to the brown wire of the harness 2110.8201326-41.

We hang the mass in the designated place. The photo shows.

We insert the white power wire into the gap in the pink wire. In my case, the previous owner inserted a fuse into the circuit for some reason. I didn't take it out. Left it.

We put the yellow one in the power supply gap for the fog lights. Gray wire. I use PTF as a DRL, so the joystick backlight will be in constant mode. It was possible to put it on the cigarette lighter, like my window regulators are made, but I was too lazy to pull additional wires, to be honest. In principle, everything worked out simply at this stage. We don’t climb anywhere, we don’t cut wires. We don’t open anything except the mounting block.

On Drive I easily found the diagrams and pinouts for terminals 12.3769 and Ф53.602.000. Spent a little time understanding which wire goes where. On mirrors, by trial and error, we find the right combination. I repeat once again, I had to extend the wires to each mirror by 15 cm. In principle, everything is simple.

Yesterday, Sunday, after recovering from Saturday's drinking, I went and bought everything for a braid of mirrors.
