Tow Mirrors

Got my new mirrors today they are a manual set but the driver side has three wires coming out not sure if I got the right mirror. They are for a 99 F-250 7.3. Anyone have any ideas?

do they have turn signals in them? if so then one is ground, one is running lights, and one is turn signals. if not, it could be heated, but it could be an electric version. They only use 3 wires for the mirror motor operation.

Sounds like you got mirrors from two different trucks. Mine are both heated and both power. My mirrors have a little heat symbol on the top outside corner of the mirror glass.
