I'm building a widbody Speedster replica. I am using the original "flag" mirrors out of an '87 924. These are the same ones that Porsche used on all the 944's also. I need to figure out the wiring. Any body know what color wire does what. Help for the switch would also be appreciated.
Here is the link to my buid up if you are interested.

The factory electricals have the wiring.
Really need the schematics to figure the whole thing out.

I just ran across a schematics on p212 of Haynes -- except I have no clue how you're supposed to read this. It looks like:

brown, yellow/brown -- mirror heater
white, brown/white is for one motor
brown/black, black(*) is for the other motor
(*) the black also hooks upto brown/white

I just replaced my mirror recently, so this makes some sense to me. Also look at this picture on Clark's Garage -- it might help: Wiring picture.

The Haynes schematics are for the early mirrors. Any 944 past the 85.1 model year change over has a different mirror driver and directional control system.

I don't know if the 924S uses the newer mirrors but if the mirror retainer is a large round locking ring then they do.

You will then need the schematics for the later 944's.

Thanks, I will try and play with those color combos. The mirrors are the early style in which the glass is held by prongs. My 951 uses the cam wheel-lock system. I took them (924 mirrors) apart but the motors are sealed from view unlike the later style.
