Okay, it wouldn't pull up the above part number. What is that? A wiring harness?
So the below numbers are the actual telescoping mirrors with the signal, power adjust, and manual fold right? There was some sort of confusion on a previous post about glass, and mirrors, and that's where I became confused. THhanks..............Matt

It is the heater control head with the defrost button to turn on heat for the mirrors.
input the part number 7L3Z19980D without the dash's

The 7L3Z-19980-D is the heater control head with mirror heat button. If you already have heated mirrors you do not need this.
For the mirrors those are Power, Heat, Signal, Puddle lamp, and manual fold

Not true,the mirrors on that truck are manual fold.....I believe that the mirrors are the same if they are manual or not.

We have two king ranch's on the lot that I looked at with the power fold and I must have looked at 25 other F150's out of the 50 plus we have on the lot and about half of them have trailer tow type mirror's the other half had the paddle manual mirrors.
I hope this clears it up better, I learned more then I wanted to today and my brain is starting to hurt, duh
Tuesday I did they same thing with F250/F350's and those have trailer tow mirror and power fold. But that's another story.

The trailer tow mirror's I have listed are heated, if you want the heat to work then you would want the control head.

If you don't have heated mirrors now, you need the the heater control head 7L3Z-19980-D. You should have the wires in the door already for heat and signal, so you just need to plug in the new heater control head. This was the case with me also, I don't have heat or signal but the wires are already in my door for them.

Yes, mine are manual fold also. I was told that the powerfold mirrors were only in that "style" of mirror. In other words, only the trailer-tow mirrors are available in either manual, or powerfold configurations. I'M not saying that; I'm saying that's what I was TOLD. True, or not true? (on the mirrors)

yesterday, I was looking in the sales book at invoices because it was raining so hard, today I walked my butt out on the lot and spoke with 6 sales people. The trailer tow type mirrors like on the black truck are only available with a manual fold option. The only option for the power fold are like the ones on the red truck.
We have two king ranch's on the lot that I looked at with the power fold and I must have looked at 25 other F150's out of the 50 plus we have on the lot and about half of them have trailer tow type mirror's the other half had the paddle manual mirrors.
