The correct answer to your question will depend on the exact location of the motor, its voltage and its power rating. The simplest answer is to say "Check the wiring instructions for the motor."
They are all so different it's impossible to advise you without knowing the voltage it was designed to run on. It would help someone to give you a better answer if you also gave the make and model of the motor as part of your question. <><><> What kind of motor is it? You don't say anything about the voltage or phase(s) the motor was manufactured to run on: * is it for 240 Volts 4-wire (2 Hot wires plus a Neutral and a Ground) * is it for 3-phase (3 Phase wires plus a Neutral) If so, on what voltage? * is it for 120 Volts AC with a start-and-run capacitor (With wires for Hot, Neutral, Capacitor and Ground) * is it a DC motor? <><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

I just changed one. Their are four wires where the wires come into the mirror but only three at the plug that does into the wire harness in the door. THere are two motors with worm gears in the mirror housing. I suspect the wires split 3>4 so each motor has two wires The four wires are a power and a ground wire for each motor. The plug has both grounds combined into one wire.

Either 3 or 4 depending on which motor you have. Count your spark plug wires then you'll know.

It could if you don't get the terminals and motor wires on the correct terminals.
Swap the spark plug wires, but if the firing order is 1-2-4-3 it will miss if you go to 1-3-4-2.
Open the hood and look at the motor. If it has 4 spark plug wires across the front it is an in line 4 cylinder engine. If it has 3 spark plug wires showing it is a V6. OR Look at the VIN code, 8th character. If it is an R you have a 4 cylinder engine. If it is an X or Z you have a V6
# get these materials for a 3 x 3 foot shield : 4 metal bars(3 foot),a electric motor and 100 foot of electric wires. # cut a little piece out of the wire each inch. # put the 4 bars together. # put the wire and the bars together. # load up the motor and put it on the wire# put the motor on. # the motor explodes, that means you are stupid
