Retrofit Power Fold Tow Mirrors to XLT
#1081
Thanks for the help, I'll take another stab at it in the morning.
#1082
Question for the ones that have replaced door harness and modules on a xlt? Has anyone that has changed out the door harness and door modules experience the door not latching shut? It only happens when using the inside door handle and I can only get it to latch shut after locking the door or locking and unlocking the door and then it will once again latch on to the stricker of the body.
What I've replaced so far: I have put in the latest door modules based on my build date. Programmed modules to my as built data with no other programming changes as of now. I have replaced the door harnesses. The door harness however I sorced from a salvage yard and I know they are lariat or platinum harness but I did not notice until I installed them that the passenger side has the additional wiring for the 360 camera while the driver side does not. So before I order NEW harnesses based on the retrofit document, I was looking to see if this might be a programming issue or a connector not connected properly issue?
Thanks!!

The door not latching shut has nothing to do with the door harness, my guess is the harness is wrapped around or routed wrong keeping the latch from closing. Locking/unlocking is moving the cable out of the way allowing the latch to close. As long as your harness is not an XL or XLT cable your fine. I used XLT cables to get everything I wanted.

Before you state they are plug-n-play you should qualify that statement by including they are plug-n-play if your existing mirrors already have the same features as the mirrors you've posted. Which by the way you haven't provided any part #s for the mirrors your trying to sell nor have you stated all the features of the mirrors.

They do, but flat glass can have levels of magnification too. I know the dodges have a power of +1 on the flat glass. I'm curious if the Ford ones have magnification or if they're flat with no magnification.

Mine look like plain mirrors, no "objects in mirror are closer than they appear".
