Manual Mirrors To Power Mirrors?
- Thread starter tsujbtc
- Start date
The answer yes.
Now going by your info under your username, you have a 2000 Civic Sedan ... right? If so, this is the "correct" way to go about switching to Power Mirrors on there:
- Get a Floor Harness off a Powered Mirror 99-00 Civic Sedan
- Get the Door Harnesses off a Powered Mirror 99-00 Civic Sedan (just the front two)
- Get the Power Mirrors off a Powered Mirror 96-00 Civic Sedan
- Get the 20A Fuse & Relay for the Power Mirrors off a Powered Mirror 96-00 Civic Sedan
Now, that will allow you to have Powered Mirrors, but if you go a bit further you can convert the entire thing to Power. Meaning Power Windows and Locks as well. If you want to do that, then in addition to the list above you will also need the following:
- Get the Door Harnesses off a Powered Mirror 99-00 Civic Sedan (from all 4 doors)
- Get Power Window Regulators (from all 4 doors) off a Powered Option 96-00 Civic Sedan
- Get Door Panels w/ Switches (from all 4 doors) off a Powered Option 96-00 Civic Sedan
- Get Door Lock Actuators (from all 4 doors) off a Powered Option 96-00 Civic Sedan
- Get Door Lock Control Box off a Powered Option 99-00 Civic Sedan
- Get the other two 20A Fuses for the Power Windows and Door Locks off a Powered Option 96-00 Civic Sedan
I believe that is it, if IIRC ... I might be missing one or two things, the list is off the top of my head and I just woke up from a nap, lol.
Now, that list is to have it all OEM Honda and all like it was Factory. If you only want Power Mirrors I'm sure you can hack it by using a relay, extending some wires and what not, but good luck figuring it all out ... Regardless you'll have to get the Powered Mirrors off a 96-00 Civic Sedan that offered it as you cannot use your Manual Mirrors.
PS. Pay attention to the year ranges I specified for each part, its crucial you do not mix them up. All electrical parts (harnesses, control box, etc) have to be from a 99-00 Civic Sedan. All other things (actuators, regulators, relay, etc) can be off any 96-00 Civic Sedan. I specified 96-00 Civic Sedan for the Door Panels and Switches, but I'm not sure if they differ from 96-98 to 99-00, so research before you go buy them or just get them off a 99-00 Civic Sedan to be sure. Also, notice how all parts are off a Civic Sedan and not from a Civic Hatch or Coupe, the reason being you cannot use parts from a Hatch or Coupe - they are completely different.

If you go with what I mentioned, it'll be Plug-N-Play. No modifications needed, just switch out the old stuff for the new stuff. That's the great thing about going OEM Honda.

Now that know you, and seeing that you are and especialist on Honda, I take it off al my polarized of my Car, however when i take it off the polarized of the rear of my car i made a hugh damaged in the rear defforger, i saw in the internet that is able to get a Kit of repair de Grid, But i seeing the manual, they recommend, that for make a successfully repair the open trace not needs to exceed more than 1 inch...
Here now The question....
1.-Do i need to change all the glass (I tried to mean all Glass)?
2.-Can I use the repair kit for all grid? (Conductive paint in all lines?
3.-Or Exist another option to repair that issue?
Regards Again

First of all, I'm not a "specialist" on Honda, simple research was how I was able to come up with that answer I gave you, on top of the fact that I did it once already (granted I did it on a Hatch and not a Sedan, but the concept is the same).
Now, I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding your new question. From what I gathered, it seems that you damaged your Rear Defroster and want to fix it. Now you want to know what would be the best way to go about doing that, either (1) buying a New Rear Glass, (2) Use the Repair Kit sold in Auto Parts Stores or (3) if there is any other known option besides those two.
Well, I have never faced that issue, but I guess the answer would depend on how big of a damage was done to the Rear Defroster. If it's not too much of a damage I guess you could use the Repair Kit. However if the damage is pretty huge then I guess a new glass would be in order. Then if its too expensive to replace the glass and the damage is too big for the Repair Kit the only other option is to leave it alone and not use the Rear Defroster. I found this link online, read over it and then make your decision: http://autorepair.about.com/cs/doityourself/a/aa112302a.htm ... Good luck!

does anyone know if your doing this in the coupe. does the dash need to be taken out and do i need to take out the harness that goes through the firewall and into the engine bay? or just the dash and floor harness? i been looking and cant figure this out. i have the doors. dash harness, floor harness. harness that goes into the engine bay. and the fuze box. idk what else i need or how much to take out
1SIKCIVIC, you only need to replace the Floor Harness and the Door Harnesses. No need to change the Dash Harness, Engine Harness or the Fuse Box.
ok. thats what i was thining. it made sense for the wiring to be there, but i was thinking that if it didnt have the power options. why make it with the wires there? you know what i mean? but ok. thanks guys. just saved me a s**t ton of time
What the hell are you talking about? If you've never attempted this swap on a Honda/Acura then shut the hell up and stop giving false information. This is not a Chevy forum, so please keep useless comments that will only confuse other members to yourself.I would be really surprised if the wiring isn't there, it is a lot cheaper for Chevy to make and install one harness than to make many. I had the standard power mirrors and I upgraded to the mirrors with the turn signals. The wiring that I needed was back there, I just had to find it. I know that my TB is wired for a lot of options that I don't have. Sorry I can't give specifics but I wouldn't give up too easily...
Don't listen to that guy, the wires are not there. You need to replace the Floor Harness and the Door Harness on each door if you want Power Mirrors, Power Windows and Power Locks in your Honda Civic.ok. thats what i was thining. it made sense for the wiring to be there, but i was thinking that if it didnt have the power options. why make it with the wires there? you know what i mean? but ok. thanks guys. just saved me a s**t ton of time
yeah. i know i gotta swap the floor and door harness. Thank god i got complete doors! i just wasnt sure about the harness that went into the engine bay. that made me unsure. my thoughts were its easier to make one harness, and maybe cheaper, but if you make two different, it lowers whats needed to buy. if that makes sense. thanks guys!

wait. so i gotta swap the floor and dash harness? i can do that. i just dont know about the part that brandches into the engine bay. i feel lke i need to. like the wires wont be there for the power options
Ahh, thanks for pointing that out moebiius, I overlooked that.
1SIKCIVIC, what year is the Civic you are converting over to power options? If your civic is a 1996, 1997 or 1998 then you do not need to swap the Dash Harness, you can keep the current one in there. Now, if its a 1999 or a 2000 you need to swap the Dash Harness.
The reason for this is because of the difference in the location of the Power Lock Control Box on those specified years. From 96-98 the box is located behind the driver side door panel and plugs into the the driver side door harness. In 99-00 the box connects to the dash harness, IIRC.
You do not need to swap the Engine Harness, stop worrying about that. No "power option" wires go to the Engine Bay. All the "power option" wires end at the Under Dash Fuse Box and do not go out into past the Firewall.
I did the complete power option swap in my 1997 Civic Hatch and everything works flawlessly. Follow the steps I told you and you will be fine.

(99-00) any chance you might have a part number (dash harness) for the dealer or majestic Honda? I was always under the impression that it goes through the firewall as well....so I take it only goes from the driver's side fuse area to the ECU on the right passenger kick panel?Ahh, thanks for pointing that out moebiius, I overlooked that.
