You need the wiring pigtail of the other mirror also, even one without the heated wires if you don't mind using the same colored wires for the heated circuit. The terminals inside the connectors will interchange, and tapping into the Defrost circuit is the hard part.
Yeah that’s the parts I would be hunting, because there’s not a limited model in my local salvage to pick from. I would be making a couple hour trip to a larger yard to find the wiring pigtails. Color of wire doesn’t bother me, because that’s why you label them.
I took on a daunting task or changing dashboards in my Chevy truck. It’s a 94, but I swapped in a 98 dash, mostly an aesthetics thing. I had to wire in a different fuse box, gauge cluster, and heater controls. This all took months to get the majority of it figured out, comparing two completely different schematics, and all I’m left with is a couple minor things that aren’t 100%. GM loves their orange wires, because most of the harnesses are comprised of them.
So with that said, heated mirrors is a walk in the park for me, and I’m not afraid of a challenge.
