08 mirror install, now no start.....
Hey,
Looking for ideas to check. I installed my 08 mirrors last night, and now the truck will not start. It cranks over, but will not fire. My DP tuner switch does not light up. I confirmed the cable is plugged into the rear of the switch, and I think it is plugged in to the PCM.....I need to confirm that after work tonight.....Any other ideas?
Thanks
ben

Did you unplug the cable from your DP switch at all? I know when I first put mine in I had the cable plugged in the wrong way and the switch wouldn't light up and the truck wouldn't start. I turned the plug around and the switch lit up and then the truck fired. Might be something else to check.

I did pull and reseat the cable in the switch, I made special attention to reseat it the same as before. There is a notch on my cable to assure it is inserted correctly. Thanks for the info.
I hope it's as simple as the fuse.....The good news is the mirrors look great, and they work....I guess I should have seen if the truck started last night, and not just the mirror functions....hehehe

Maybe you can flap the mirrors to make it go? 
If you unplugged the main harness to the trucks puter, make usre it is seated COMPLETELY. It can seem to be there but it just isn't all the way in.

DOH, beat me to it. More than likely blown fuse. If that isn't the case (sure it is though) my next step would be checking the pcm itself.

Yeah, she is a nice looking ride, just sitting there......
-I'll try the mirror flapping idea.
-I do have "no start" on my DP, I thought about that also. I have no idea how it would have fallen into position 0 on its own, because I didn't put it in to "no start". I forgot how to get it out of position 0 this morning, so I printed off the directions and will try it tonight. (not sure if I would see a "0" on my switch when it is in "no start", but I have no lights on my switch right now)
