Excursion mirrors on a F350 SD
I put a set of power heated Excursion tow mirrors on my 2000 F350 SD. I like them a lot better than the mickey mouse ears I had.
How does the Excursion turn on the mirror defrost?
In the F350, there is no electrical defroster to tie the derfost power into. I think my mirror adjust switch is bad - I was wondering if the Excursion switch would fit the F350 and if it has a switch for the heated mirrors.
thanks,
mike

The mirror heat function is operated by the same dash-mounted switch that simultaneously energizes the rear window defroster.

Why add another switch? If it were up to me, I'd determine which wire "feeds" the rear defroster, then tap into it for the heating elements in the mirrors. It's called the K.I.S.S. principle. Any time you need the mirrors defrosted, you'll also need to defrost the rear glass. Your choice.

on the newer superduties, the heat is on all of the time. I just installed the TT with light and heat.
