If I remember correctly, when you push the switch to automatic down, the window goes down, via relay, then a circuit breaker trips and mometarily cuts power to the relay, allowing the relay to open(ie no power to motor). Will this work for the mirrors as well? How do the mirrors opperate, are they like a window?(motor goes one way and it it folds out, motor goes the other way and mirror folds in) Or do they opperate in a different way?
the JDM relay, (not included in what i bought) has an internal timer that times how long it should take to open the mirrors and then stops applying power.
the instructions that are provided by jdm fan leave you with a system that is continually forcing the mirrors open with 12v power on whenever your finger is off that button.
