Those Exploders should be a dime a dozen in the salvage yards.

Since my truck had the correct connectors so no splicing, what I was able to do was rig up my mirrors to the key on hot wire that powers the electric windows in each door. The ground was through the harness just like the normal power mirrors used. Hope that helps any.
