Those with 08-09 Superdutys with the power fold, telescoping tow mirrors, do your mirrors fold in automatic or do you have to hit some sort of switch? Same for telescoping is there a switch? Thanks.

 

yes there is a switch on the drivers door that operates both. These things are awesome. Stopped by a Dodge the other day and just gave him a stern look and extened the mirrors then folded them in. How funny.

 

hmm.. i gotta look for the switch then im trying to put some in my 06. Ive been looking for a picture of the switch but hard to find.

 

just like the power mirror switch, but it says to pull back when centered to fold and press down to telescope...

 

actually there are TWO switches..
slide out/in is a new rocker switch. below the mirror adjust switch.

the mirror adjust has a new feature, when centered, you can pull it back (towards the rear of the truck) and it signals the mirrors to fold in or out.. so its a toggle to some other logic that does the work.

these might be in the same assembly part, don't remember the physical look.. will take a pic when it gets light out

Noob here Does anyone know if you put the power tilt telescopic mirror from a lariat on and xlt with the factory control if the wiring is there to just plug and play or need some serious wiring?

 

you will need some serious wiring.

 

Go to this truck at Carmax and look at picture #10. This will show you the controls.

ya i have seen the controls and can buy from scrap yard at will. Has anyone undertaken this endevor or any ideas where I can get a factory diagram of wiring so I know where to go with it?

 

I used a generic 2 button window switch available from Napa and placed it in the side of my front center console. The polarity changes depending on which direction you want the mirror to go, which is the same as how a window motor works. It involves ALOT of wiring! I even went as far as buying the OEM switch but finding the room in the door panel to put where it would look right was asking too much.

 

I think there are 8 pairs of wires..

mirror up/down, left/right
adjust in/out
fold/unfold

using trailer harness wire (cheap and small), that is 2 sets of 4 wires to each door.

and u have 4 switches to control it all

this is one joystick switch in the stock control..
select driver/passenger
up/down, left/right

adjust in/out

fold/unfold.
