adding heated mirrors

[95se]

anyone know how hard of a task this is? is it simple as plug and play or is there some added wiring involved?

thanks for any help thrown my way!

you might have to see if the main harness has the plugs for it. Try and see if anyone here has a wiring diagram for your car. Sorry I couldnt help.

I want auto-dim + heated mirrors.

[95se]

I already got a autodim from a 92 sle, i wired it to the fog light switch.

If they have a blue tint to them they are heated and auto dim, not sure if the wiring will be there if not stock on your car though

[95se]

Yea i just need to know if the connectors hanging in the door i dont wanna pull a door panel to find out, if someone already knows.

Pretty sure my 95 didn't have extra connectors in the door.

I didn't think the '93 had autodim? I have blue tinted side mirrors, only ever saw auto-dimming in the center rear view mirror. Also fairly sure there was only 1 harness connector for the side mirror which I thought was just for the mirror control.

I have the heated mirrors. There is only one connector. Im just not sure if the harness would be the same as a stock Bonneville mirror.

I never actually watched them to see if they were auto dim either Ill have to look out and see if they do now.

Theres only one connector as far as i know, the heated mirror just has more pins in the connector.

^^ Yep, just blue tint and heat, one connector. I think 2003 SSEi added heated mirrors to his old 93 SLE. He'd be the one to ask, but I vaguely remember him having to tie into another circuit for the heat to work. Stock, they turn on when you use the rear defroster.

Yea i just gotta find out if the extra pins are there or if they need to be added to the connector.

[GotBonneBWitMe]

Stock, they turn on when you use the rear defroster.

Don't mean to take the topic off too far, but I never knew that! I thought I had faulty mirrors that only worked sometimes .

Thanks!

[MattStrike]

So how about the Park Ave autodim side mirrors? Is there a different rear view mirror and harness to operate them?

[95se]

The 96 lesabre i did mirrors on at work only had one connector per mirror it had heat but no autodim.

Does anyone know what year and model Bonneville the heated mirrors were available on? Do they have a defroster icon on the mirror glass that shows they are heated? I'd really like to try and find a pair in the junkyard and add them to my car.

Look for the blue tint on a 92-99 SSE, SLE, or SSEi. There is no marking.

I pulled the heated fuse on my SSE, never could see the use of these.

I found a wrecked 130k miles '98 SSEI with heated mirrors this weekend. It was white, and my SE is green, so I pulled the glass, the motors, and the wiring harness to swap them into my car.

The heated mirrors and the non-heated ones use the same 8-pin wiring connector. The non-heated connector uses four of the pins, and the heated ones use six pins. I haven't pulled my door panels to verify that my car is pre-wired for heated mirrors. I'll post some pics and an update once I've done the swap.

I pulled the heated fuse on my SSE, never could see the use of these.

The mirror glass seems softer than the window glass on our cars. I've scratched my mirrors scraping frost from them. It would be nice to be able to just push a button and have them defrost. It's not a huge deal, but it would be a nice option to have.

Keep me updated i wanna know if the connectors are the same on the se!
