Does anyone know if you can easily install heated, power mirrors on a 2003 truck that came from the factory with just power mirrors? Does it need a switch or does it work off of a thermostat? Thanks in advance & great site! Ed
THe wiring is not in the door. Heated mirrors were not offered on 97-03 F-150's. 04 was first year. It's not as easy to do as you'd think. If you go the post asking about Expedition mirrors on a F-150, I laid out the best or correct way to do it there. You basically have to take 4 mirrors to make 2. I am doing it on my 03 F-150 reg cab right now. I used the expedition mirrors with heat and signals. My truck will look like a factory installation when it's done. Right now I am working on getting a timer module so the mirrors don't stat on all the time. Read it and you'll see how to do it.
Can you post pics or give a parts list? I'd love to do this, and what harnesses or plugs to buy? If nothing else, a pic of the replaced dash panel with the switch.
hey bmccl in the process of changing bases of expy mirrors to a 97 f150. Found if you pull the wires out of the swivel part then take a hose clamp put it around the tabs tight then take a heavy putty knife/scraper and pry up you can get the base off if your carefull.
