Astrak Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 For some reason my 92 Eldo didn't come with the auto dim mirror so I am going to install one, I was just wondering if the wiring for the mirror is already there so all I have to do is pull down the sunglasses holder and cut a little hole in the cloth and connect the wires?

Ranger Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 My '92 Deville had electro-chromatic mirrors. I'm very surprised that an Eldo wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I believe that the autochromic mirrors were standard in 1997. The Cadillac History page for 1992 shows the "auto day-night rearview mirror" as a $110 option. I would suspect that the wiring harness is the same for all models. Of course, you can tell for sure by taking off the mirror and looking for a connector. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

OynxSTS Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 My dad's 91 Olds Toronado had it "standard" too... I'm betting the someone deleted this option at the dealership or later in life... They are easy to wire... From memory they have a green, blue and black wire... Black is ground and I believe blue is hot in run... the Green wire is wired to the same circuit as the back up lights and the unit is designed to turn off when the car is in reverse... Other then that the unit is completely "auto" I added one of these to my '87 Olds 442 'cause they are cool... They can be had for about $10 on Ebay... More if you want a built in compass Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac, I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back ZZTOP, I'm Bad I'm Nationwide Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrak Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm guessing that hiding above the sun glasses holder is the connector. Most manufacturers install everything in the car, say you didn't get power seats option in your car well most likely you have wires hidden under the carpet that connect to a power seat. This is why I am thinking that it will have the connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
