Installed the parts required to repair the Velvac mirror that had been removed by a bus in Puerto Vallarta.

Then I discovered that somehow I had wired it incorrectly; the up-down-left-right were all mixed up! I thought I had spliced the wires correctly but a check on the internet showed that for some reason Velvac has the yellow and blue wires spliced to the black, the black to the white, and the white to the brown! I had simply attached like color to like, except the single brown to the yellow and blue that we already paired. :h
Tomorrow take it apart, cut and splice again. I really hope I left enough slack so I don't have to take the whole thing off and re-splice new wire in like I had to do today.
