Power folding mirrors - somethings wrong here.

So i picked up a power folding mirror kit. and i am going over the wiring diagrams generously provided by misterfixit. i understand the mirrors and the switch. but i was sitting here for an hour scratching my head like "wtf is this crap!". so i pulled up a picture from tunersnation.com... oh well thats just not right. the relay they sent me is "MB852142" marked with X6T34171, 2X15. the wiring is:

1234
5678

1 = BrL
2 = BrW
3 = blank
4 = blank
5 = L
6 = Br
7 = B
8 = BrB

so... did the guy send me the wrong relay? or is this a older unit? the plug doesnt even match. mine is square with 8 and misterfixit diagram is a rectangle with 13. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

misterfixit relay diagram is
1 2 3 X 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12 13

1 = Lg
2 = Br
3 = LgR
4 = BrB
5 = LW
6 = BrL
7 = B
8 = blank i think
9 = BrR
10 = LgB
11 = BrY
12 = LgY
13 = BrW

thanks for whatever help you guys can provide.
 

progress...

part number: MB852142
Pin out:
1234
5678

1 = BrL to control switch
2 = BrW to control switch
3 = blank
4 = blank
5 = L +12v
6 = Br to mirror
7 = B ground
8 = BrB to mirror

still trying to figure out the Mirror side - Left: Lg, LgB and Right: LgY, LgR. they go into the diagrams relay below and come out as BrL and BrW.

Nick,

if you have the same kit/set as seen on my tunnernation link above then the setup/wire colors/diagram is easy to follow. i am no electrician, obviously but i used the DSM electrical manual to help me read these diagrams:

click

if you're just wonder which wire does what then you want to focus on "BrL (#2 on the plug), BrW (#1 on the plug) and LB (#10 on the plug)" #10 is ACC and the other two are the monetary connections to trigger your relay. "L" stands for Blue.

hope this helps. i am going to keep my eye out for a relay, meanwhile i'll setup my mirrors with dual relays utilizing the stock switch.
