    I am looking for a 3 pin rear view mirror that works. I know I can get other ones but I really do not want to deal with wiring so if you have one for sale please contact me. Thank you

    If you stick to a 3-pin mirror, you're going to be stuck with a Donnelly which is almost guaranteed to break on you again. Switching over to a newer style 7-pin harness is VERY easy to do, and also allows you to go with a much better quality Gentex brand mirror. You don't need to do any actual wiring, as the wires you need for the Gentex are the same as your existing Donnelly mirror's wiring. All you're going to do is pop the wires out of the 3-pin harness, and insert them into the 7-pin harness in the same order starting from the far right (with the mirror facing you). It should literally take you no more than a couple minutes to do. There's a pictorial walk through in this thread:

    Anyone have guidance on pinning a mid 90's Wbody 3 pin with a Gentex 7 pin mirror? my wires are little different. Red/Black/White. Instead of the blues in the link.
