    Auto lights, wipers, dimming mirror

    Hi all sorry if this has been asked/answered before I just cant get all the info I need.

    I have zafira b and want sight and light. I've bought the dimming mirror, sensor (although the senor is for corsa d I later found out)and light switch that i've fitted. ive check the roof lining and there isn't a connecting plug up there so I know I have to run a few wire, but my mirror has 4 wires going into the plug, black (live?)east to find, brown (earth?) easy to find, grey and white/black which I don't know what or where they go. My sensor has 3 pins but no wire attached so I can't see which colour wires they are. Does anyone have an ideas

    I don't mind buying the correct zafira b sending if that's necessary. Any help is much appreciated. Ps if there is a how to guide out there that'll be great. If not I'll make one if/when I sort it all

      Don't have a guide, but it is gnd & 12v to the mirror, tap off those to feed the rain sensor and also add a wire from the rain sensor to the fuse box under the bonnet. Once wired in, it then needs programming and the headlight switch swapping to the auto version.

      Thanks.

      I think I've sorted it. Spent a few hours searching online and think I've pieced it all together. Not actually fitted it all yet but when I next get some time it shouldn't take me long to wire it up. I'll take pics and put a how to together as well

      I've now fitted it all and the mirror is working fine but the lights come on when on auto even in the light. I disconnect the sensor and they stay on? I'm guessing the sensor is be at fault but I'm not sure. Could it be something else?

      Oh yeah forgot to say I did that with opcom. I un programmed after to check and the lights didn't come on so I'm guessing what did there was right. Although if you know something I might of missed when doing it?

      Done a resistance test on the sensor and it's dead so think I've found the problem. Now time to get on eBay and find another one
