    Thanks all for advise I’ve been reading here about retro fitting powered mirrors to my CE2 MK2 16V. Thought I had while connecting the power to these is will they be automatically covered by a fuse? I wired the live to connector “D” pin3 which was vacant. The live for the heat to connector “P” pin3 which is also pretty the rear de-mister. My assumption is that because this goes through the fuse box, if, in future there’s a short these will be protected by fuses but just want to check, if anyone knows? Cheers.

    RJ, thanks for those links. I put the mirrors on Pin3 of block D and as per your list pulled fuse #4 and that killed the circuit. Many thanks messiah..
