I don't have drawings for 04 heated mirrors. What I need to know is putting the 04 mirrors on a 02 with no heat wires how do I hook it up so it will be like factory...Relays etc..wire color maybe you could email me a print.


Thanks

Dick

99 ,I wouldn't hook it up like factory ,Id use an eplorer rear defrost sw for the heat.
That way the heating elements would last longer and less drain on batt/alt.
you have 99 right are you wanting to put them on the 99?
do you have the mirrors yet?
I have the schematics for a 02 we can figure it out.

Yes the timed function is done within the gem module.
The switch can still be used,depending on current drawof the heating elements.
