Huh? With zero power on yours folds? You can walk up to the truck, open the door and fold them with the key in?
My 15 has to have the key in the accessory position in order for them to fold which is basically what the OP is saying on his truck. Accessory mode on or vehicle running for them to work.

So… With my limited electrical knowledge… Is it possible to just compare the wiring harness diagram for the door between 17 and 18 trucks to figure out which wire is hot all the time on the 18s and only hot with the ignition on in the 17s, and then run the 17s wire to something that is always hot?

My folding mirrors will not work unless the key is on (I have push button start). Is this the way things are? Even my wife's Kia allows me to fold the mirrors after I turn off the car. Is there a way to fix this?
In my opinion, another thing someone in an office designed versus someone out there in the real world.

doesnt take long to remember - turn truck off...fold mirrors BEFORE anyone opens a door.
you can make them auto fold (Lincoln style) by changing a pin & using ForeScan software.
