Its anyones guess without a wiring diagram

Depends if the mirrors have 2 motors or just 1 and a solenoid to change it from vertical to horizontal adjustment.

I can only guess without a wiring diagram of the mirrors, my guess wont be any better than yours

Whats the difference between the 3 wire and 4 wire ones then? You'd need an extra wire for the heater elements?
