I recently purchased a 2013 F150 STX 4X4 with the 5.0L engine - love it! My truck has the power mirrors, but no amber turn signal indicators or heat. Since winter is here and she's going to be parked outside, I'm wondering if the stock wiring harness has the pigtails for the upgraded mirrors with turn signals or signals +heat? If the answer is no, does anyone make pigtails that will allow easy installation of those mirrors?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, the wires are there already

Are the connectors there for "plug and play" as well? Dealer says yes, but isn't sure which mirror options will work. For example, if I install a mirror with heat and turn signals, the signals may work, but not sure if the heat works. Hmmmmm.

I'm having this same issue right now I changed my mirrors heated mirrors, after already changing to something that had turn signals in them, my truck came with neither one, the turn signals work but not the mirror heater. but the mirrors I have are aftermarket, they have four wires going to the mirror glass, I'm not sure how to wire them up on a switch yet. I'm thinking two wires maybe the power, and the other two wires for the thermostat, maybe I'm not sure. I do know my back window turns off after a certain amount of time but I don't know if it's time activated or thermostat activated.

I'm also thinking my truck can't control the mirror heaters, because I don't have the proper AC unit.

I swapped power mirrors for power heated, turn signal, auto dim mirrors on my '09 XLT and they worked right out of the box. (secluding heat because I didn't have the correct climate control unit)

I did this thread awhile back. Using all oem parts. I can't guarantee it works on '11+ trucks, because they changed allot of stuff that year, like you can't upgrade to auto headlamps without allot of dealer work. That was plug n play until '10.

I have two Ford dealers telling me these FORD mirrors will "plug and play" on my 2013. The mirrors are heated and also turn signal - black plastic.

BL3Z-17682-CA (one dealer) (not sure if the "B" should be a "9" as on the other part no.

9L3Z-17682-CB (the other dealer) I know this no. is legit as I have a photo of the ford box with the FOMOCO part label on it.

Anyone tried to use something with a similar part no.? What results did you have?
Also, not sure what CA means vs. CB although CB sounds more like a black plastic style.
