Ok Griff,,,,,, I will take a look at it later tonight! Is it doable,,,,,, sure!! My thoughts would also include a deactivate also for the ones that mentioned ice and snow.... but before I go there,,, what ever happened with the auto windows as I know you got the one touch worked out for the rear slider and were to busy to address the windows.
My thoughts on deactivate would be to just switch the mirror **** to L or R for mirror adjustment. The mirrors don't fold when the **** is turned to adjustment.
No rush, my bump was not meant to hurry you, I just wanted some people to talk about it and see if anyone else thought. Take your time.

Love this idea.
I always fold mine in when I turn off the truck, and a lot of the time forget to fold them back out when I take off again later on.
Would be great to have them fold in with the truck turning off (or taking key out of ignition)...and fold back out when the truck starts (or putting the key in ignition)

i fold mine at highway speeds more than I would like to say. forget to turn the **** and try to tilt the mirror. they fold up and i notice an instant .00008 gain in mpg
I have driven miles with them folded and didn't even notice, says alot for being observant

I found a module on ebay that does exactly this. Hooks up to mirrors and has trigger wires for opening and closing mirror using the acc and door circuit.

I assume that you need to have the power folding mirrors first. I have a XLT with towing mirrors but they are manual folding.
I would love to be able to make them power folding

I know it could be done tied into the lock and unlock function. I had it done on my old F250...
Would be a cool option to have.. Lock truck, fold in, unlock, fold out...

That's an idea, except when you doors lock when you start to drive. May be a work around but I think the module on ebay may be the trick.
