Finally got new mirrors and grille

[dauphija#99]

I bought these last night paid 20 for the mirrors and 40 for the grille for a grand total of 60 bucks. I am so glad I found the mirrors. The driver side needs to be painted to match but since I am apprenticing at a body shop it shouldnt be a problem.

thats cool man!!!
i would like to upgrade to power mirrors some day...

 

[dauphija#99]

yeah but i am just using them as manuel because my truck never had power mirrors before.I just wanted the style of them

whos manuel? lol
i think using em manual isnt a good idea the electric motor could get damaged
installing em its not that hard ive heard

well i got them cheap cause they didn't work either up/down or side to side. but i could get some that work for 10 bucks more. Does anyone have an idea how how there installed it would be appreciated ?

u need the lil control switch of course
maybe thats why they didnt worked
my bro has a all power ranger and one of his mirrors didnt move down, since i installed oem power windows with oem control switches i swapped his bad control for mine and it works fine now, but if i would get power mirrors i would need the switch, pretty stupid move i did lol

anyway u need the switch and the diagram to knwo where to hook the 12v source and the connections to the mirrors so they move propely

the power mirror are great when they work. wiring them should be that bad. i think ford usually puts the connections in the factory harness so all you have to do is plug it in. i think the switch contacts go bad rather easily though. i know numerous people who have mirriors that only move in certain directions on their rangers and f150. my mirriors just recently started being tempermental. if i get a chance to tear it apart ill let u know how hard it would be to put together.
