Hi all,

I'm new to this site as I just bought a 2005 F-250 SD King Ranch with the 6.0. Truck is like new and it replaces my 2002 F-250 SD 5.4.

They had to order my owners manual so I am in the dark on a few items and hope someone here can help.

1. How do you work the power mirrors in and out?
2. How do you get the mirror heat on?
3. How do you turn on the lower running lights.

I know they are dumb questions but I have tried everything and can't seem to get things towork

I have already read a lot of good information here such as care of the seats and the intergrated trailer brake system.

thanks a lot

Joe

Welcome!! Dont know how to move the mirrors in and out, mine are manual telescoping. The heated mirrors are always on when the key is on. Fog lights try pulling straight out on your headlight ****.

They should work just by turning the **** all the way clockwise and then pulling out. If not theres a problem somewhere along the line.

Welcome to FTE Joe! The mirrors pull out manually for the telescoping feature. The power extending mirrors didn't come out until the '08 models. You just have to pull them out by hand.

Thanks for the information too both of you. I thought the mirrors were power as that what the lit. says but its been wrong befor. As for the lights I will go out and check them as soon as it warms out some.

Thanks to both of you for the help.

The fogs should only work when the key is in, and turned to Run. Power telescoping mirrors didn't come out til '08, power just means power glass movement on an '05

Unless someone replaced your mirrors with the '08+ mirrors, it should only be the mirror glass that's powered. IIRC, the first year for the power telescoping mirrors was '08.
