    My orginal outside mirrors took a nose dive and I replace them with a pair that are a 5 pin and the vehicle side is a 11 pin and I was wondering if anyone knows what wire goes to what wire. The vehicle is a limited edition Sequoia with folding, heated, and memory and remote adjustable capability. If anyone has a clue what wire goes to what color wire I would greatly appreciate it. I can provide pics if necessary.

    Thank you,

    Greg R.

    Didn't see this thread until after I just replied to your PM. Going to copy that info here because it might help someone else in the future.

    My diagrams don't show the 2005 Sequoia to have an 11-pin connector for the side mirrors, but rather either a 16-pin connector (vehicles with driver position memory), 8-pin connector (no driver position memory, but power folding mirrors), or 6-pin connector (no driver position memory or power fold).
    Below are images for the RH (passenger) mirror connector - the driver side looks the same.

    Based on your description above, it sounds like you should have the left version of connector R18 on your vehicle (R17 is the driver's side and is the same connector). And I'm guessing you have mirrors that have the right version of the connector.

    The mirrors you bought will not power fold and will not correctly react to the memory position location.

    It is a (R18-1) and the new mirror is a (R18-6) with only 5 wires I don't care about memory but I would like at least to adjust them to my liking, heat, and if possible fold. The connector on the new mirrors have 2 black wires one with a grey dot on it. Then we have a yellow, blue, and green wire. If you could tell me what wire goes to what I would greatly appreciate it. I can give you the color of the R18 wires if that will help.

    you will not have power fold in the new mirrors at all. They lack the physical motor inside of them to do so.

    As for colors of the wiring inside the mirror, nothing I can do about that - they don't show that information in the diagrams. But I can tell you which pin number is which function on the connectors shown. You will need to do the mental acrobatics to understand and apply that pin-out to the mating connector in the mirror. All of the pin information is looking at the open end of the connector (opposite of the end the wires are entering) with it oriented so the locking tab is positioned according to the image.

    Your original/factory mirrors (using the RH mirror for example - the COLORS may be different on the driver's side but the pin-outs are the same):
