Early 99, XLT but no power mirrors. I also have the little dinky pieces of crap. I want the towing mirrors that are telescopic.

It seems like adding the wiring to retrofit power mirrors would be a PINA. If I bought a set of the towing power mirrors could I adjust them manually?

Sorry I missed the early 99. Jim

 

i just replaced mine on my early 99 i had original trailer manual mirrors and had broke the triangle cover on the drivers side those would only fold backwards not forward . you couldn't get the cover separate so i waited for one to come to my body shop that needed replacing that i could get a new cover off 8 years not one so i broke down and bought a new set when i painted the whole thing last month. these are sweet they fold both ways and telescope there are all manual. ford part#3c3z-17682-aaacp left and right is 3c3z-17683-aaacp check em out .

 

Those mirrows will work on early 99 also OK

 

yes my truck is a early 99 ! 6-98

 

same here. all new wires needed to be installed, along with the window switch + power mirror panel. Major PITA, but well worth it! Adjusting manually was more of a PITA.

 

Take a look inside your door panel. The early 99's did have the option for power mirrors so the wiring harness may be there. Just need the mirrors, switch and the fuse to get it all working.

Mine already came with the tow mirros and power, but I busted the right side twice cause as mentioned above, they dont fold forwards.

I got a set from an 05 that also had the lights and heat.
Wiring these is pretty straight forward. Even adding in an option that I didn't have with my own wiring worked out pretty easy.

 

You can manually adjust them, but it won't get perfect cause the adjustment isn't smooth. They might end up breaking the adjustment eventually. My drivers side no longer powers up or down. The motor goes, but the linkage either came loose or whatever gears drive it stripped out from moving it by hand.

 

Empiretc, do you have a diagram / article on wiring up your power mirrors? My tuck is a 1999 with no power at all, so I need to pull all of the wires....Thanks

 

Let me see if I can find it. It has only been 7 years.

I did post all the info here
