Again, there are zero wires to be fished across the vehicle. ALL of the wires are there attached to the mirror, and they plug right into the new door modules. The door modules control all of the mirror functions, and the each front door has it’s own door module, so there are no wires that need to leave the door. It is as simple as unbolting/unplugging the old mirrors and door modules, and bolting/plugging the new ones in. Then, program any new mirror features into the BCM. It doesn’t matter if you did not have power mirrors before, either. If you don’t understand how a particular swap is done, please don’t post misinformation about it. That will only confuse others who come along and want to do this swap.
Ok, this thread is about installing power fold tow mirrors. That video is about installing aftermarket power fold tow mirrors to a truck that already has power fold mirrors. The wires that are being run through the doors and throughout the cab is to get the mirror turn signals to behave as running lights by fuse tapping into the fuse box. This is an aftermarket feature offered on those mirrors that isn’t being discussed in this thread. Besides, none of that wiring is even necessary, because you can use the ambient lit door handles circuits on the door modules to use the turn signals as running lights without having any wiring leave the doors. None of the wiring in that video has anything to do with getting power fold tow mirrors to work.
Been waiting a long time for someone to post or for me to find those part #s! Where did you purchase through?
I bought through MoparAmerica because they had the fastest shipping.... but there were plenty of sites even the direct Mopar store had them. Just google the part numbers and they will come up.
Already been tried- 4th gen mirrors and 2019+ HD Ram mirrors won’t mount onto a 5th gen DT. Also, the wiring in the two connectors on the 4th gen mirrors would have to be completely rearranged.
If you just straight up swapped mirrors, and had no programming done, can you verify that when the mirrors are in the flipped up tow position, do the mirror glass adjustment arrows work in the correct direction?
I'm talking about these - https://www.1aauto.com/2013-18-ram-...ror-set-trail-ridge/i/trmrp00042/1111810/2018
Ok, I’ll clarify:
I gotcha. It was a good thought. I'm sure 1A Auto is working on a set for 5th gen trucks.
Are these the black cap mirrors or chrome? Looking for the black ones. Have a Rebel with BSM, Puddle light, Power fold
Black.
Thanks!! Was it a PITA to replace or is it just plug and play?
