Towing Mirrors
hey guys, I have an 06 Harley (with memory) and I just changed over to ford's towing mirrors. everything went well with the swap out except when i use the turn signal (either side) the mirror heater switch on the dash flashes with the signal. Im sure its a grounding issue that requires switching pins in the connector, just wondering if anyone has seen this before and has a fix. thanks

ok...with 06's to fix the grounding problem, you can either the move the ground from #2 OR #9 position to the #8 position.. on the mirrors both #2 and #9 do not have any pins. now i havent tried this yet, but whichever pin you do not use, (2 or 9) you can cut and use for the puddle light position #11. I believe that you have run a black with light blue stripe wire into the door to have the puddle light work off the dome lights. I am thinking about using the door switch wire (already in the door) and have the puddle light come on when the door opens. on either option, i would switch the puddle light bulbs to LED to have less draw....thoughts?

If your wanting to power your mirror turns you can tap into the lt grn/wht wire for drivers side and wht/lt blu for the passenger side. Both can be found under the drivers side sill and kick panel.

See my thread for my install pics:

The next post shows the blue/black wire I tapped into for the puddle lights. Everything else matched up following the wiring guide on Tasca's website.
