1997 XJ6 (X300) located in US

I recently removed my malfunctioning auto dim rear view mirror and sent it to Sybesma's Electronics for repair. Turn around was great but now I have an unexpected issue.

I cannot find the female connection for the mirror male plug. The only female connector open in the overhead is a large black unit with 8 pins. 5 pins in a row on one side and 3 pins in the next row. There is another row that has no pins. My mirror has a yellow 4 pin connector with 3 wires ( no temp or compass). The yellow male connector is much smaller than the black female connector. When I disassembled the mirror it all looked fairly basic so I did not take a pic of the assembly.

Is it possible there was an adaptor that is now missing? I think the mirror returned is the one I sent in.

The black female socket is located in the middle of the overhead just to the front of the sunroof actuator.

I have searched diligently for another female socket but I do not see one.

Any help is appreciated. At least I now have a mirror I can see out of but I would really like to dim it at night.

 

Hello rwoodlin,
Can you remember if your mirror had a slide for the electrochromatic sensor or a button?
1995 was the last year they made the slide and 1996-2003 has the button with a white connector.
If you sent in the one with button they sent you the wrong one back it should have 3 wires White/Grey/and Black and plug into white connector.

two black connectors, one is for sunroof and the other I have not seen used.

Please advise if you need further assistance.

 

bandre2,
Thanks for the reply. My mirror has the button. It does have three wires but the connector is yellow. I will look again for the white connector. Maybe it slid back into the liner.
