1995-1997 Lincoln Continental Auto-Dim Rearview Mirror Pinout - C917 Wiring

This document is a connector pinout diagram for the electronic day/night (auto-dimming) rearview mirror on 1995-1997 Lincoln Continental vehicles, identified as connector C917. The top portion shows a drawing of the 7-pin connector with each cavity labeled with its circuit number and wire color: pin 1 is circuit 88 (black/white), pin 2 is circuit 53 (black/light blue), pin 3 is circuit 47 (light blue/white), pin 4 is circuit 46 (purple), pin 5 is circuit 140 (black/pink), pin 6 is circuit 57 (black), and pin 7 is circuit 705 (light green/orange). Below the drawing, a table lists each pin number, circuit designation, and circuit function: illumination dimming input, courtesy lamp input, output to outside mirror return, output to outside mirror, power (hot in reverse), ground, and demand lighter power. A reader can use this diagram to identify wire colors and functions when diagnosing, wiring, or retrofitting an electronic day/night mirror, including the reverse-light signal that disables dimming and the connections that also dim the outside mirror.
