Fried the Auto-Tilt Module

So, I fried the Auto-tilt module. I realized just as it quit working that I had confused male and female (because my sub-harness is REVERSED to interface with the car).

I swapped the wires to the correct position; no help.

The module no longer clicks when I power it and one corner (I think it's a capacitor) gets very hot. It doesn't smell burned, but it certainly isn't working right.

Maybe if the capacitors drop some of their charge overnight it will start working again, but I seriously doubt it.

On a positive note, I now have a perfect plug in harness for the auto-tilt module (which I fried shortly before correcting the wiring).

If someone is importing mirrors, let me know; perhaps I can save some shipping on a replacement module.

I don't know what's wrong with it, so I don't know what your chances are.

I'm not sure if you are offering to fix it for me or for yourself...

So, my plan was to rearrange the wires so that they match the USA Prius (for power and ground and whatnot) and then do the same for the controls so that it tilts the right mirror instead of the left. I got confused between the male and the female on the Wiring Diagram (or so I believe) and (I think) fried the module by operating the mirror with the module plugged in backward.

All I know at this point is if I plug in the module and power the reverse wire, it no longer clicks or locks out the controls, but instead gets very hot. It doesn't look burned, but who knows at this point.

I'm going to double check my wiring in the next few weeks and see if this thing is recoverable.

If you want to take your chances, go ahead and order a module, and I can tell you what I believe the pinouts are, but if yours fries too, don't come crying to me.

Just a note, the tilt module is completely seperate from the signal mirrors, so they don't need to be installed at the same time.
