OK - tow mirrors are installed. It came with adapters to make the power mirror work, but not the heat. So, I cut the ones off my old paddle mirrors and soldered them up on the new mirrors. All good - everything works and no shaking, etc.

Will do - been busy.

Hauled 7K lb of pavestone for a project at the house.

I did put a front receiver hitch on the X today - turned out good except the burshguard kep t my winch cradle from going enough - had to punch a new hole in there. Oh well - always something.

Dual battery kit should be here this week. Maybe I will get it done in the next couple weeks.

I was hoping the harnesses would have the additional 2 wires needed to make the signal part (marker light and turn signal light), but they don't. It's easy enough though to identify what wires go to what once you see the harness, then you can just splice in to get the turn signal and marker light features to work (if you get the mirrors that have those added in).
Thank you for the part numbers!!

Which part number is for driver and which is for passenger side? Or at least which picture is for which part number? Everywhere I look online both part numbers say "RH".

I have a 2000 excursion with power heated tow mirrors. my truck has one white and one black connector, and my replacement mirror came with a single rectangular grey connector.


Sorry to revive such a dead thread, but I can't find the answer anywhere else on the Internet.

Yikes, looking at car-part.com used 08 mirrors are expensive

They are pricey but I can't even find any decent ones,I've called and even been to a lot of JY that car parts showed the tow mirrors, get there and there either broke or they don't have them. I'll get frustrated one day and just order after markets

The marketplace forum of FTE has a number of vendors selling aftermarket mirrors, I bought from Tony @ SDS (link above) this past May. The quality is perfect. I had the paddle mirrors and the 08+ tow mirrors are well worth it.

Well, I answered my own question. I ordered based on wire color, and part number 1C3Z*14A411*BA is a perfect physical and color match for the driver's side.

Unfortunately I was so excited to install my new mirror that I forgot to note the colors on that harness.
