Limited Mirror wiring help

I am not sure what wires are used for the auto diming but my mirrors have a total of 17 wires. Pic is bellow

I had partial success today. I was able to remove my existing tow mirrors and replace them with the limited mirrors. I also replaced the mirror control switch on the dash.
This is what my mirror connection looks like, 9 pins.

This thread gives details on how to remove the door panels.

I bought a set of nylon removal tools from ebay. They have various angles and edges that work great for removing panels, trim, etc. without scratching the finish. The triangle shaped trim panel on the interior that covers the mirror screws and connector comes off by gently prying it on one side. The sill panel is held in with plastic tabs. Insert a screw driver, putty knife, nylon tool underneath and gentle pry it up. The kick panel fits over the door molding and is held in by one screw at the top of the panel, it comes off really easy.

Door panel removed.

The door boot where the wires run from the cab to the door. This step was a major pain in the [email protected]@!!. Trying to "snake" the wires through this boot is difficult. I found that pulling the boot out of the door opening and the cab opening helped. You can see where the door wires come in through a square white opening by the kick panel. The wires are a bundle wraped in electrical tape. Start the wires through this opening and just wiggle and manuver any way that works until they move through the boot. When they got far enough I was able to pull them through with a needle nose plyers.

Black boot and wires pulled through.

Mirror wiring harness and (3) 10mm threaded fasteners holding the mirror. The other fastner is at the top, just out of the picture. I used a deep well socket to remove, be careful here, if you drop the fastner it will end up inside the door! I have (8) wires at the harness

The connection on the limited mirror.

I've attached a diagram showing the wiring harness connections and pin numbers for the kick panel connections.

The actual connections behind the drivers side kick panel.

From other posts and emails I believe that pins 7 & 8 on the mirror harness are the power fold connections, pins 13 & 14 are the auto dimming connection and pins 5 & 6 are the puddle lamps. I connected 20 gauge wire to female connectors and crimped the ends. I got the connectors from: Tyco Electronics, part number 1123343-1. These fit perfectly inside the Toyota plastic wire connectors. I checked continuity and all my connections were good. I went to install the other end of the wires into the NJ3 connector, one of the blue ones behind the kick panel. Here is where I ran into trouble. Even though I could have connected the new wires, the necessary wires on the female connection ARE MISSING so there was nothing to plug into. Since I have a regular cab deluxe with the SR5 option I must have a different wiring harness than the double and crewmax SR5's. If I'm wrong of this please correct me!!
I think I can still do it on mine but I'd need to run wires from the female side of NJ3 to connector JL1. If anyone has done this mod with a regular cab I'd appreciate your input.

Here is the wiring diagram of the mirror switch without the memory feature.

This is a far as I got today. Sorry if some of this information has been previously posted but I wanted to share what I found out in my install.

P.S.
The power adjustments, turn signals and heated feature all work fine and I LOVE the look compared to the tow mirrors!

thanks Jim, I also got the folding mirror to work today. do you know where wires go at kick panel for the auto dim and puddle lights? I know some people wired the puddle lights to the foot light by the hood release but just wondering if anyone else figured out where the wires actually go into the cluster wires/connectors? i meant it would be easier to wire to the foot light but i am not big fan of having puddle lights come on when turning on the interior lights (flipping the switch).

Congrats. Wayne, glad you got yours working! :tu: Pins 13 & 14 at the mirror connection control the auto dimming. One thing I found on my Tundra, once I had the new mirror connected to the harness; before adding pins, I experimented by removing two of the blue connectors one at a time. I would remove one plug and I'd loose the turn signals, plug it back in and unplug the one above it and I'd have the turn signal back but no power adjustment. Your wiring harness at the kick panel is different than mine. I'll have to run wires from the female side to the JL1 connector, but in your case you had all the wires there, a difference between a deluxe with the SR5 option and a regular/cremax SR5 model.

When I need interior light I use the overhead console ones. If you want the puddle lamps to come on when unlocking the doors with the keyless entry I'd tap into the small courtesy lamp located on the lower trim panel, drivers side. I thought about using the light located on the bottom of the door, but I think this one only comes on when the door is open, so using the keyless entry wouldn't activate it....and I thought this was going to be easy!!
