Right Mirror 535 interconnect Harness Fit 530?

Post by Bruce »

It's really bugging me to manually move my "new" passenger side mirror by hand. So I spent some time looking in the webetk and found one for the 535 that fits the e28's. Anyone know if it would fit the 530 before I spend the money for a new one. Anyone have a used one they would like to sell me? I really (I MEAN REALLY) Appreciate it! Thanks.

The wiring and connectors are the same with Mid E12 (78-79), late E12, E28 and E21, and probably more thru that era. The E28 one will have included in the harness the window and door lock too. An additional note on the wiring, it changes color under the dash, so at least one of the colors isn't the same at the door as it is on the other side.

Good info Mike, thanks, as I'll be doing the same project in the near future.

Sorry - I wasn't very clear.

I got the wiring harness for the passenger side and installed it (major pain) but there is a round connector on both the left (original) and the new right door harness. So there must be a cable that goes from the left to the right to control the right side mirror. I've got the mirror, right harness and the left/right switch installed. I would build a cable if I had the connectors, but I would like to find the cable if possible. I really want to do it right. Thanks to all.

Bruce,

Contact me as I believe I have the wiring harness for a E12 to go from the RH door to the LH drivers switch. NOS BMW.

I wanted to say Thanks to Frank for selling me the mystery cable that connects the right side mirror. Works great. It's a satisfying feeling (though fleeting if you know what I mean) to have everything on the 530 work correctly.
