just got power mirror parts from another car ...how do I wire them?

I switched interiors of my car with another vert. That other vert had power mirrors so I switched that also, switched the mirror itself and took some wiring. I have all of the wires that go into the car on both sides, but the wires between them were left in the other car. How do I go about wiring up my new mirrors? I would guess that someone else has done this and might know where to connect each wire.

that is a bit confusing, but I will try to follow it.

that really isn't much help. You see, the passenger side has a white wire, a blue, a yellow, and a green wire. The left side has a white wire, a green wire, black wire (ground), an orange wire (power) and two blue and two yellow. I know to wire orange to the accessory fuse, the black to a ground, and I would guess, wire the other colors to the matching colors on the other side of the car, but how do I match up the two blue and two yellow? that will leave a left over of a blue and a yellow.

I also wander if the drivers side should work when I connect the power and the ground, it doesn't work when I tried it, but it seems like it should.

I did mine today! Thanks Tim. Heres the deal... Orange off switch goes to ignition. Black goes to ground. Split the blue and yellow to both mirrors. Then look at switch and when dr side is selected the white and green off that go to dr side and same deal for passenger side.

well, maybe my extra ble and yellow came off the mirror then, I was pretty sure that those wires all came into the car. I already have one side of the orange and green wired to drivers side.
