Question Anybody using OEM switches on their 08-2011 towing mirrors

I have been searching to find out if anybody has successfully hooked up the OEM power fold/telescoping switches in there pre 2008 truck? I have seen several get the functions working using after market switches but have not seen any using the OEM switches. I will be installing 2009 FX4 door panels in my 02 F350 and I want to try and use all the OEM switches. I found info for getting the new power window switches to work but lacking the door lock and power mirrors.

I got all my wiring ran last night and have the turn signals and marker lights hooked up and working. My old towing mirrors did not have signals and were pretty basic so I had to run new wire for the new features. Unless somebody chimes in with some info on using the OEM switches, I will just wait on my door panels and try to hook everything up when they come in this week. I think I have everything figured out but the power door locks. I still can't find a pinout and wiring diagram for the new 2009 door lock switches. I was told by someone on another forum that because of the SJB they would not work as it supposedly controls voltage sent to the switch but I don't want to believe that. Here are a few pics of my mirrors installed.

I am really liking these new mirrors. They work so much better than my old ones

Looks great! Sharp looking truck there. I like the wire you used. What is that refered to as 14/7? Looks like trailer wire of some sort judging by the colors. Nice and neat in a single sheeth like that.

You should be able to figure out how to get the locks and full features to work. Have you poked around the forum yet for answers?

Thanks. The wire is actually sprinkler wire from Home Depot. Its kinda tough getting the runs through the doors especially on the drivers side where there is already a bunch of wires running through so I wanted to get my runs cut down. It is 18 gage wire with 7 conductors. Its meant for direct burial so I think it should hold up in my truck.

I have looked around I am just really lacking a wiring diagram and pinout for the 2008 and up power locks.

Do you still have your oe tow mirrors? Are they power? I'd be interested in buying them if the price is right and they're in good cond.
Thanks
