I'd gladly do it myself but i have a hurricane to watch out for.
alright
so i used the on - off - on toggle
the downside with this method is that you have to hold it til they fold in and out
like civic sky said the timer is supposed to have it so you dont have to hold it
i would rather have gone with getting the oem switch like dru106 did also if you can get the oem relay it would be almost plug and play
i have to mention that the hardest part of this install was getting the damn wire through that rubber tube that connects the door to the car.

Rep Power: 0 Using OEM parts is obviously the best way to go when making your mirrors fold. I should've gotten those instead of making it myself. Just make sure where to put those additional wiring. I went under the dash panel one time and tried to figure out which is which. If you get the OEM stuff, you probably need to route the additional wires into the fuse box somewhere and connect the OEM fuse box. Of course, there is no way you can skip the "fun" part -- get the wires through the door panels.

Rep Power: 0 Hahaaa.... I finally get my mirrors work with my circuit!!!! hahaa!!!! I found 2 power sources from the fuse box (under the steering wheel) and connect to my updated circuits with independent 556 and relays. Fuse number 3 and 12. My circuit works by seperating the relays from the 556 circuit. I will update the diagram later! (not too many changes. You just have to isolate the positive on the relay from the circuit.
