wiring help

[Donnie69]

Hello. I have a set of power folding mirrors that I'm trying to install. I have figured out there's two wires for the folding, one wire makes it fold in, one wire makes it fold out but, my problem is one wire has to be grounded in order for the other wire to work.. how would I be able to wire that for each wire to switch between negative and positive depending on how I have the two-way rocker switch positions? Hope this makes sense! Thanks for any help!

How many wires do you have ?
If you just have the two its a reverse polarity motor and you will need to wire a switch to reverse the polarity.

HOW TO: Wire a DPDT Rocker Switch for Reversing Polarity

HOW TO: Wire a DPDT Rocker Switch for Reversing Polarity: When you need to control a DC motor (such as a DC linear actuator) you usually need to be able to swap the polarity on the wires going to the motor. A double pole, double throw switch is used for this purpose but you have to wire it up...

and all done without using wire fire nuts. crappy crimp tool though, even if it says milwalkee on the handle.
