Power Mirrors

I recently purchased an 1979 280zx and am trying to put it back together. Everything was going fine until I tried to use my power mirrors and realized the switches were not plugged in so I followed the wires and saw that they were not connected to anything. I guess what my question is does anyone know where that molex plugs into or what color wires they may be. I am pretty good with cars but this one has me stumped. I looked under the dash on both sides and no luck so if anyone knows please help me......

I don't have a '79 so I ain't sure as to where the molex goes,but I do have a wiring diagram for that year and this is what its got.

RH Mirror
blue/red-"to RH switch"
black-"to ground"
blue/black-"to RH switch"
blue/white-"to RH switch"

LH Mirror
black-"ground"
yellow/red-"to LH switch"
yellow/white-"to LH switch"
yellow/black-"to LH switch"

(on the RH/LH switches there is 1 additional wire,yellow/green,they both run into the 12 pin plug that runs to the radio & also to the 10A fuse "5th one down on the right" "in the fuse box")

Hope this helps.

back together

are you putting the car back together with parts from the car itself or parts from another car? if from another car is it a 83? because some parts dont match up like the electric windows and mirrors. if it they are the same parts then try buying a scrap car or going to a junk yard and look for parts. thats how i fixed my 83
