Post Wiring question concerning adding factory power mirrors...

Anyone know if the wires/connector are in place in all 1996 F-150's, whether the factory installed manual or power mirrors? I just located an NOS pair of power mirrors and want to replace my manual mirrors, but wondering if I need some junkyard wiring before I take everything apart....

Ford in their Infinite wisdom usually has all the Harnessing in them
so if an option is required it is just an easy tie-in.

If you don't have the harness to get from the mirror to the undersdash harness,you'll have to find it.

I suggest buying a service manual> even a Haynes will tell you
from there wiring diagrams.

I would have to say no. My '96 Bronco has a '95 Eddie Bauer interior and accs. from a wreck. She doesn't have the power mirrors though because the wiring wasn't there in the base model '96. I would say you had better have the wiring for the mirrors before you start. Wiring from door to door seems to run below the dash behind EVERYTHING. I'm not saying its not possible, but best to be informed of what you mite run into.
