3. Remove the original 16-pin door harness mirror connector by cutting the wires 13 mm (1/2 inch) before the connector and splice to the male connector pigtail by following the wiring repair kit instructions included with the pigtail kit.
(1). Using a small flat head screwdriver, remove the white connector retainer from the original connector and install it on the replacement male connector.
4. Install the exterior mirror. Refer to WSM, Section 501-09.
2013-2020 MKZ
1. Remove the affected exterior mirror. Refer to WSM, Section 501-09.
2. Remove the original 16-pin mirror connector by cutting the wires 13 mm (1/2 inch) from the connector and splice to the 8-pin gray and 8-pin black male connector pigtails by following the wiring repair kit instructions included with the pigtail kit. (Figure 1)
3. Remove the original 16-pin door harness mirror connector by cutting the wires 13 mm (1/2 inch) from the connector and splice to the 8-pin gray and 8 pin black female connector pigtails by following the wiring repair kit instructions included with the pigtail kit.
(1). To gain enough access to perform the splices, pull the harness connector through the wire harness grommet hole below the access hole for the mirror bolts.
