Default Got PowerFold Mirrors Working!!!

I got them to work using the OEM parts. I started to go by the post http://home.comcast.net/%7Emyers.bra...naFordF150.pdf

But I decided to take the chance and buy the OEM switch,wiring harness (for the extra wires) and the relay.
My mirrors i got were off of a 2005 king ranch. I put them on my 06 XLT several months ago but was finally able to get all the parts needed. in addition I used about 60ft. of wire. It took all day to do but its great as my garage is tiny to fit in.

These are the instruction i used to do it the only thing that is not on there is how to make the turn signals and puddle lights work but i got a wiring diagram to find which pin i needed to connect to on the mirror harness and ran a wire to the corresponding turn signal and the same with the puddle light.

(Don't remember the OP of this Sorry) Also if anyone know how to get them to fold automatically when i turn off the ignition that would be great!

Thanks I just wasn't sure if you actually updated to the different switch or not.
