heating element? Did you check one of the previous posts with the Tribeca FSM screenshot? info may be there.

Yeah read through the entire thread. Saw mention of the non polarised black/black heating element. Wasn't sure why the mirror and car would have the wiring but no element. JDM Legacys apparently doesn't come with heated mirrors as an option.

Anyone knows what the purpose of the yellow/black(car) and black/Black(mirror) wires? 10 pin JDM harness

Using a circuit tester identify the + wires that are responsible for the up and down movement on the car harness and just swap them.

 

It was obvious that two wires got mixed up .. just wasn't sure which one.

 

NB. In my experience there are two wires that are red with blue stripe and can be easily be mixed up. So those two and the red with yellow stripe are the ones to keep in mind and at the same time don't be biased in testing.

Yea happening to me also.

 

I tried the JDM switch, original switch, switch from a wagon where the issue is not present...same result...even if I plug in the lhd mirror into the harness it's the same issue.

 

The wires going to the joystick is the same. I even reverted to the original mirror on the rhd side...same reversed direction.

 

So the issue is present with the use of the original rhd mirror. I don't know if I did something wrong while repinning the first time. Trying to get the original pin out for the rhd side mirror.

 

I also have the JDM harness from the door relating to the mirror. I noticed that the pink and blue mirror wires are connected to the red blue stripe on the car..so basically they both are fed through a splice

SOLVED!

No.

 

Is this happening to you as well?

 

I tried using both the 2005 JDM joystick and the 2008 USDM joystick, as Dade suggested at post#127 in this thread. But there was no difference in operation, despite the internal changes in the joystick logic that Subaru made from 2005 to 2008 (Dade's post #128 in this thread).

 

Vertical control of the passenger door mirror is still reversed on my car, up/down.

 

In practical terms, it's not that big a deal. Because the passenger door mirror is convex, once the position is set, it's pretty much universal for every driver. My wife and I only adjust the mirror position on the driver's door when we swap seats. Passenger mirror door is "set it and forget it".

 

But if you or someone else has a new idea, I'd love to clean up this minor annoyance.

 

When Dade and I went through the wiring diagrams earlier in the thread, it looked like I had wired everything correctly, so this remains a mystery problem.

If you are going to pull your door cards and re-pin again anyway, could you please take note of the correct color combinations for the passenger-side adjustment motor. Dade was going to do so earlier in the thread, but never did.

 

I have my passenger (right) side mirror wired so that up & down are reversed.

 

It's a 2008 USDM car, with heated mirrors.

 

Right now I have this wire arrangement on the right mirror, that leads to a reversed up & down mirror angle for the joystick control:

 

(mirror) purple ---> (car) blue & white striped

(mirror) pink ---> (car) blue

(mirror) black ---> (car) yellow

(mirror) white ---> (car) blue & yellow striped

(mirror) blue & red soldered together ---> (car) blue & red striped

(mirror) black ---> (car) black

(mirror) green ---> (car) black

 

And just for reference again, the driver's (left) side all works perfectly, and so here is the color connection chart for the left side:

 

(mirror) purple --->(car) red & white striped

(mirror) pink ---> (car) red & yellow striped

(mirror) black ---> (car) yellow

(mirror) white ---> (car) black

(mirror) blue & red soldered together ---> (car) blue & red striped

(mirror) black ---> (car) black

(mirror) green ---> (car) red & black striped

 

Thanks much, iNfEk.

Greetings all. Was this ever solved? Assistance appreciated. Cheers

Thanks to everyone that made a contribution. From everything that I have read in the thread its really hard to say what is a definitive solution to the problem.

 

IME, the noise seems to be coming from rear differential or one or more of it connecting axels.

 

I have also read that the noise also exists in the STi and classified as normal in the owners manual according to the posters in the thread with the following link.

So I dunno if to continue looking for a gremlin that probably doesn't exist.
