no opinions huh.... oh well, i decided to do it anyways

i read through the article in the tech library a couple of times and decided to give it a go, although my timing wasnt exactly perfect (it was already getting dark when i started and it ended up raining on me when i was reinstalling the mirrors and door panels) and the wiring colors that were listed in the tech article didnt match the wires on my truck so i couldnt hook up the power funtion until i had more time (and light) to spend on it. so heres my mini write up on how to intall 07 mirrors on your 94 ranger.
tools youll need:
hack saw & vice
drill with 1/2 drill bit
phillips screwdriver
T20 torx driver (if you have manual windows)
11mm socket, 3" extension, and a ratchet
wire strippers, solder & shrink tube
soldering iron, heat gun
materials youll need:
2 - sway bar link bushings
2 - 2007 mirrors
so first thing first, remove the 3 screws in the door panel and take the torx screw out of the window crank, then lift upward on the door panel to remove it. take the 4 screws out of the speaker and disconnect it and set it aside, youll need to be able to put your arm through the hole to put the sway bar link bushing bits on. un plug the harness to the power mirror, its connection is just inside the speaker opening in the door. using the 11mm socket remove the 3 nuts holding the mirror on and remove the mirror and harness from the door.
now youll need the drill with the 1/2" bit to enlarge the mounting holes, which is necessary to the clear the mounting studs on the new mirror. it should look like this now
now test fit the mirror to make sure everything lines up, if it doesnt enlarge the holes to the next size larger and re-fit it. now youll need the sway bar link bushings and the hand saw, and youll need to cut them in half, effectively making light weight, rust proof spacers.
the next step is to cut the wire harness off the old mirrors and strip,solder, and shrink tube them onto the new mirrors (make sure to leave as much wire as possible so that the plug will still reach its original position). this is the step that got me hung up the first time i installed the mirrors since the tech article listed different colors for the wires than what i found on my truck.
on the drivers side the ford wires are red, yellow, and blue and the 07 mirror wires are green, yellow, and purple. the red goes to the green, the yellow to the yellow, and the blue goes with purple.
the passenger side almost matches but not exactly. the ford harness has green, purple, and white, while the 07 mirror has green, purple, and yellow. the green goes to green, the purple to purple, and the white to yellow.
now that youre all wired up reinstall the mirror but only put the top nut on and leave it loose for now. take the bushings you cut in half, reach inside the door through the speacker hole and place them on the studs.
now plug the mirror in, check that all positions on the switch work, then tighten the nuts down, reinstall the speakers and door panels, then crack a beer cause youre done
