Default 2015 F150 Telescoping Tow Mirrors

If you are adding factory tow mirrors to a 2015 F150 that does not have them here are some things that will help you through the process.
1. Do the 2015 F150 tow mirrors power fold and telescope? Yes, with the correct model number they offer a manual mirror and a power one. Here are the model numbers for the power fold/telescoping set with chrome skull caps. Left FL3Z-17683-AG, Right FL3Z-17682-AG. No 360 camera.
2. If you do not have tow mirrors currently. You will need to replace the control switch on the door panel to get the power telescoping function. The new switch changes the power fold button to a control button. Once pressed, it will change mirror adjustment pad to control the fold and telescope functions. The part number for the Super Cab/Crew SW7441 or FL3Z 14529 BA. Attached are photos of the two different switches.
3. The door panel does not need to be removed to replace the switch. The switch can be lifted at the rear to release the clips. Two clips on each side and one in the rear. The front has a tab that slides under the panel to secure it.


The top photo is the controller with power fold/telescope, and the bottom is the power fold only. No wiring changes were necessary it was a plug and play.

I don't have the power fold option for my mirrors. If I change out the control pad and upgrade the mirrors is it still plug and play?

It should be. The easiest way to know is to look see if the harness is in the door panel. (if you have power adjust then the harness is there) You can pop of the mirror cover on the inside and see if the harness is there (its only 4 clips and does not require taking the door panel off). If it is it should be plug and play.


Good Look.

Default Tow mirrors

I have a 2015 king ranch and want to purchase tow mirrors but my only question is if the clearance lights on the tow mirrors will work with my headlights with the wiring for the mirrors that I have now. I have the power fold button on my controls now.

Thanks for the post. How much do these parts cost? EDIT: Nevermind, just googled them. Looks like about $500 per mirror, and $40-$50 per switch. Boy, not much of a deal considering you can add them when ordering a new truck for less than $200. Aftermarket, over $1000. Sheesh.

The front mirror marker "clearance" lights worked as soon as I plugged in the tow mirror on the Lariat package. Should be the same for the King ranch.
