Ramco Mirror Wiring Colors

September 07, 2015, 08:12:19 pm

I just finished connecting the new old stock passenger side Ramco full face remote/heated mirror (according to the eBay auction description anyway). There was no mention in the auction description that the top hat convex was unheated and manual adjust , but alas, that is what it is. The cable coming from the mirror has five wires in it that match up perfectly with five of the wires from the original mirror as far as the color goes. I plan to replace the manual top hat with a remote version (or the guts of one) at a later date, perhaps using the guts out the old one of the bottom convex portion. At any rate, I connectorized the cable with a 9 pin Molex conector leaving four empty slots on the mirror side of it. Unfortunately, upon completion, I was disappointed to say the least that the remote switch has no effect on the mirror. Though with the mirror heater switch on, I do get 11.57 vdc between the black wire and ground... so at least I know which wire supplies power to the heating element on the full face mirror. However, I haven't found any wiring diagrams online or with the coach docs that describe the color code used by Ramco. I was assuming (hoping, really) that since the wire colors (at least the five that are on the new mirror) match up with the original wiring, that the colors wouldn't have changed over the years. Does anybody have a wiring diagram for Ramco mirrors?
Thanks, Don

Don, my body shop is ordering a couple of new replacement mirrors for our coach following our May accident. Ramco said the colors were all the same on these mirrors and just match them up. Maybe call and ask, they were really easy to work with. Google them.

Sorry to revive an old thread but this is perfect for my issue. Bought a new old stock ramco mirror for the rebuild. Just realized the one I bought is a 5 wire. I have 9 wires on the old one. None of the diagrams above fit for me, can't find anything in the book. See the pic. Anyone else have another diagram?

Probably the other wires are for remote control of the big mirror and small lower mirror, also could be for a heated mirror.
New one should work but you wouldn't have the extra controls.
