Thanks for the help, I'll take another stab at it in the morning.

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.

My apologies. I have a few different sets. I have all options covered, Blis and heated glass are really the only options guys would need to specify. All Powerfold/extend mirrors have full content, meaning spotlight, puddle, turn, memory, I will work with the buyer to confirm all options of there truck and ensure they get the correct mirror which will be plug and play for them, assuming if they are XLT guys they intend to do the full conversion as outlined and explained by this forum.

I think I know what happened with the door latch. I kinked the cable when the door panel fell and was hanging by only the door cable. As usual a self induced problem on my part. Thanks!

For anyone who's done this, do you guys find that the top flat mirror on the passenger side seems to magnify objects compared to the regular mirrors?

edited. I know the regular mirrors have curved glass. The trailer mirrors are flat. I am assuming that is the difference.

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".
