Does this mirror not have Auto Dim? It should be a 7 pin plug on the back. It should also have auto dim, if it came out of a Deville or STS it should have that option. Anyways if i recall correctly the wiring should go as follows:

Pink: 12V+ Switched
Black: Ground

(If it does have autodim there should be two wires [for a total of 7] that go to the neutral safety switch to the reverse light wire to cancel the auto dim while backing up)

it has auto dim. im not sure is it has temp.
it has five wires on the mirror

Did it come out of a Deville or a STS? In 98 the STS had the temp read out in the dash, and the deville would of still had the temp in the mirror in 98 and 99.

Are you sure it's not the 7 pin style? If it is 5 pin, then
pink=switched 12+
black=Ground
then there are two for the autodim
and the remaining one i can't think of off the top of my head

the connector has 7 pins but only 5 wires. 7-6 do not have a wire. i pulled it from a parts car
it is a gntx 177
