Freelander 1 Mgf mirror

I did some searching on lz looking for the wiring for the rear view mirror and I came across
"The Purple wire with the White tracer goes to the CCU"
My wires are brown but it still has a brown and white wire ,daft question but am I right in thinking this still goes to the CCU and the solid brown is the permanent live ? thanks

Just measure the voltage at the wires you have. There's a permanent live, a CCU controlled ground, and a permanent ground.

Just the two nodge I am pretty sure the light earths through the housing

Yours is a 3 door, so yes it grounds through the attachment points. So it's easy then. If one wire is permanent live, the other must be the CCU switched ground.

Thanks again mate having had a look at the pics that were posted on the thread I was reading, the wires look brown to me so I think its safe to say the solid brown one is the live and the white tracer wire connects to the CCU

Different wiring colours on a FL2? Definitely no brown on my FL1... I posted my MGF rear view mirror change on the forum recently (I can post the link if needed). I took the power supplies from the lamp housing and made a short fly loom with a connector. Earth is through the mounting of the lamp to the roof

That's the way I did it but my wires were brown not purple

Interesting! Fortunately the logic of which wire is which is not too difficult - I needed to do this as the FL wiring is different from the MGF

True the black is still the earth and the white tracer wire is to the ccu

BTW I’m still ridiculously pleased with this mod; should have done it months ago!!! Lol

Just a thought. Are you colour blind? That would explain the different colours in your vehicle. As a test, you could post a picture of your wiring on here, so lots of eyes can see the colours!

I didn't realise what a difference it made LR should have fitted them from the start just need to get some 501 led bulbs and it will be nice and bright
