item 44 on the first page

started some prep work for the mirror fold-in on engine shut-off...

I don't really like doing splicing unless i absolutely have no other choice, so I have built a Y-splitter for the door modules... So, with this splitters in place, I will have to bring in the power feed from the relay bank, that was already prepared earlier... On the relay bank, the black is ground, red is +12VDC, green is power-on-LAN (in original design, that wire would be the ignition voltage). Two pins on the central relay that are NOT soldered yet are the ones that will provide the voltage to the mirrors...

still, the hard part is to figure out the transfer of wires from the door to the main body of the car - it turns out that the boot connecting the door to the car does not have wires simply traversing from the door to the car (as in the boots in the trunk lid) - there is a connector, I think it is listed as a 30-pin connector, with not all of the pins utilized, some pin locations have no pins, so I might be able to pin them
