Thread: bought the wrong rear view mirror need help

okay so i bought a grand prix auto dim mirror and i realized the plug in the back is different from the one that was in the car. the old one had 3 prongs the new one has 7. my querstion is can i change the wire in the car to make it work? if so where can i get that plug.

Thankyou
Frank

Ive found the hard way that its usually not worth the hassle. I got a supercharger off of a Regal for $18. I ended up spending way more than that to get it connected correctly

Totally different situation.

i found a fellow board member that had an extra connecter ill make a judgement calll hopefully itle work

It was a generalized statement with an example. Some things are easy, some things aren't

I hated autodim at first. Now I love it

I upgraded my mirror when it went bad. You need the plug for the new mirror, but you don't need to do any major wiring. The terminals for both mirrors are the same. If you use a little pin, you can release the wires from the 3 prong connector. Do the same for the 7 pin connector, then just push the 3 pins into the new 7 pin connector. It took me about 10 minutes start to finish to repin the new one.

Does anyone have one of these 7 pin connectors? I have the same situation and was wondering if anyone has one or knows where I can get one.

Thanks.
