if you already have power windows then don't bother with trying to keep it all oem.just grab the power mirrors,the switch on the door with power mirror option and run your own wires.you can find a hot line to tap at the power window switch.don't over complicate it or you'll be forever and or just give up.yeah fishing wires through the door's and up under the dash is time consumer,but it's not horrendous.

I didn't think that power windows were ever offered in the 95s without power mirrors, learn something new almost every day, thanks.

It was my understanding that there is a connector for the driver side door harness in the driver side kick panel. I know my truck has one, I used it to guide my new speaker wire into the door from the cab...

So let me see if I'm understanding what your saying..There is a Plug already there because I have Power Windows,and it's under the Dash.And the Passenger side already has the Wire run to the Door with the Plug on it.So all I need to do is get the Plug Wire out from uder the Dash,and then run it up to the Drivers Door to Plug the Mirror into it.And the Passenger side Plug is there ready to go.If this is not it Let me know exactly where the Plug is,and what I need to do to get it to the Doors..

All the truck I have stripped, had no plug for the window harness at the drivers door, it was all one piece.

NO, there are 2 different harnesses.

1 for power windows

and 1 for power windows AND power mirrors

I'm gonna say you have a lot more experience at this than I do Brad. I think I will trace that plug in the kick panel and figure out what it goes to...

So I need to get another Harness to get Power Mirrors to Work? Where I just have Power Windows now,the Factory Harness I have is wrong.Also,What Plug are you saying is under the Dash?? Is it a Plug ready to go for the Passenger side? I'm Sorry if I'm asking Dumb questions,and not understanding.

YES, you need the power window harness WITH the power mirror option. NOT ALL POWER WINDOW HARNESSES HAVE THE POWER MIRROR HARNESS BUILT IN
