Default 09 mirrors on an 05 question

So I found a set of 09 mirrors with signals and my truck is an 05 XLT without signals. What pins would I need to switch if the signals don't work? I've searched this but couldn't exactly find what I was looking for, also if they are heated will the heated portion work if I only have manual controls and no climate control?

So I picked up the mirrors don't think they're heated but they are power with signals brand new in the box for $80 so I just need to figure out which pins for the signals will need to be switched if the signals don't work. I anyone knows which pins to switch around please let me know

Thanks

If I recall our mirror harnesses have 2 grounds and the 09's have one. You need to eliminate one of our grounds and match the other one to the ground on the 09 harness. Hope that helps a little.

Got it all figured out thanks, moved the ground wire from slot #2 to slot #8 on the drivers side then both signals worked.

I want tow mirrors but can't afford them. I could technically sell these and buy some tow mirrors but I'll wait.

Good job! Now paint to match your skull caps and you're good to go!
