Side Mirror Harness Question
2000 Ford Excursion
I did the Tow mirror upgrade with the adapter that makes the rectangle connector fit the round harness and the mirror glass all works good.
I know that the 2000 Trucks do not have the turn signal wire in the harness in the door, but here is my question.
The Factory mirrors that i removed had two connectors, the round one, and a little square one that the new mirrors did not use. What is the purpose of the little square connector that i did not use?

According to the picture you posted you don't have the turn signal wires in the adapter. I see the 3 for the power mirror and then 2 more for the heat.

My Mirrors claim to support heat, but the adapter did not have the heat plug on it, looks like i may need to find a new adapter.
At this point i have half a mind to just splice the heater wires to the turn signal wires and let them just be always on LED marker lights, simpler than running a turn signal wire, and at least then they are doing something.

I have a 2004 Excursion...
If I buy the aftermarket mirrors that have the larger upper and lower mirrors, will I already have the correct wiring harness for the turn signals that are in the new mirror glass??

I know with wire on the truck harness controls the blinker but
I can't get it to work on the new mirror,

If the aftermarket mirrors have turn signal lights built in, I would think you already have it pre-wired already. My 2002 XLT had it. The only thing it didn't have was the running lights. I had to use a pin from the included adapter and create a connection on the plug. Then fished the wire through the rubber boot in the door and splice it onto the running lights wire in the headlight switch.
