Wire Routing
1) Locate the grounding bolt shown on the door frame. Cut and split the red w/ black
stripe wire and the black wire on the Signal® mirror wire harness. Route the black wire
to the grounding bolt location. Cut the black wire to length, making sure enough slack
is left for splicing. Splice the black wire and attach it to one of the supplied grounding
rings. Attach the grounding ring to the grounding bolt on the door frame.

panel control module. Replace all wiring onto the door panel control module. Locate
the LIGHT BLUE w/ WHITE stripe wire within the wire loom shown. Turn the ignition
ke so that electrical power is on and activate the driver side turn indicator. Probe the
wire with the wire tester to verif that flashing turn directional power is present. Label
that wire as ‘driver side indicator’.
