JDM folding mirror relay for RSX

[ticklemedaly]

Well, I ran into a huge puzzle, and it looks like not many people out there know how to deal with it. There are many posts online about older Hondas with folding mirrors and how to wire up the relay, but the problem is that this relay is completely different. Has only 4 wires compared to the older 5, and it is a solid state device, compared to the regular ones. Any one have an idea on how to wire this up to the mirrors? Any help is appreciated.

never done the mirror thing, but most relays have diagrams right on them. Pole 85,86,87 and (35?). On is hot power, one ground, on switch power and one accessory out. Done, gravy.

nope, no diagram....this isn't a normal relay, solid state device with only 4 wires.

OK, I'll still bet you the wires go as stated, if nothing else try putting power to it (fused of course) and let 'er eat

Do you have a picture of the relay mentioned. I'm sure that I could figure something out if I could see what you are working with.

Here are a few pics of the relay, here are the OEM part numbers off the tag:

38385-S5A-J
WG1J512A
107DB7A

All help appreciated.

That doesn't look like much of a relay at all.

like i said, big puzzle. from what I have researched, it is a solid state device in place of a relay, designed to send power to the mirrors for when you turn off the ignition. should be inputs of ignition power, parking brake, and outputs that I dont know where go. The ONLY matching wire with the rest of the system is a white and red, that only matches with one of the mirror control wires on the passenger side. Otherwise, I have no clue as to how to wire it in. I can bypass the relay all together, and have only control of the mirrors with the manual switch, but that defeats the purpose of having them fold in when you turn the ignition off. I believe they added the parking brake feature on my car in Japan, and decided to go with the solid state control device instead of a full mechanical relay. So, thats my delima and have no freakin clue as to how to get it to work. AND, not many people over here have wired them in. Everyone in Japan that I have talked to said that there isn't much for service manuals over there that would have wiring diagrams. But there are a few people that are suppose to get back to me both in the UK and Japan. Any other inputs?
