I want to install a rear-view mirror with a compass in my '48. I have one that came out of a late 90's early 00's Olds. Can anybody tell me how to wire this thing?
It has 5 wires:
Pink/black
Pink
Gray
Green
Black/White
I want to try mounting the compass thingie up above the windshield moudling out of sight. If I get it to work then I'll try to get one with a temp sensor too.
Thanks,
Walt

This is from a 99 Olds Eighty Eight
Pin1-Pink/Black is a ignition feed from the fuse block
Pin 3-Light Green is also a ignition feed from the fuse block in reverse only.
Pin 2-Black/White is the ground.
Pin4&5- grey and pink, go to the LH outside mirror to control the dimming on that mirror also.
So you likely won't have to worry about pins 4&5.
Pin 3 is for lightening the mirror in reverse so you can see behind you.
If you don't care about that you don't need to use it either.

That's just the info I needed. I'll try it tonight and see how it works.
