There's is a thread here already that has the wiring diagram but I'm on my phone and can't find it. Also visit a website called tasca parts. It's a ford dealership and they have the 2005 wiring diagram on there and I would buy the mirrors from them. I bought my towing mirrors from the 3 years ago and I love them.

i just put myn on, with 04-06 you have to move one ground wire when u look at plug & were it plugs into mirror u can see which one needs to be moved its very simple all u need is a sewing needle to move the pin, if u have a 07-08 they plug right in & work
