Yes, we know how wild Bill is sometimes. He might actually like the whipping.

Thanks Bill. Same to you and yours.

Yeah I know, I was just unclear whether he was asking if an LE without that option would still have the same glass as an LE with it.




You crack me up man.

yes i have an LE without the heated seat/mirror option. I looked under the hood and i have the 15 amp fuse and the relay in place already. Then i pried a mirror of and they are NOT ready to go with wiring. They do not have the terminals to attach the wires.

I took mine apart a little while ago. The main wiring for the controls are in the 26 pin harness (M49) at the top of the controller. I don't know how many cavities are vacant because I did not unplug it.

Mine doesn't have hill decent. There is only the locker switch. I've already tapped into the wire to (mod) control the tail bed light from coming on but have no idea what wire to tap for the mirrors. thanks

Did you find that M8 connector and M75 were already plugged to something? Picture on M8 is not clear, M75 shows it is already plugged to a connector. Do you know what it feeds?

Service Manual shows M8 connects to D2 for door heated mirrors on driver side. M75 to D101 on passenger side. Without heated mirrors these should be unused?

I wanted to follow your instructions, but purchase the door harness so it should just plug into M8 and M75. Haven't taken the panels off yet, but obviously you have!

Feed the two wiring harnesses into the door.
Hold the mirror assembly up to the door and tighten down the 3 10mm nuts you removed earlier.

You can now reconnect the mirror and door wiring harnesses.

Next you’ll need to remove the rubber boot on both ends and feed the 2 wires through the hole in the door as shown.


Tape the end of the 2 wires to a wire coat hanger or something similar.


Carefully push the metal rod through the boot.


After you’ve pushed the metal rod through the boot you can remove the tape.

You’ll want to hold onto the wire and pull the metal rod back through the rubber boot.

Pull all the wire through the boot and feed it into the hole in the cab.

You can now reseat the rubber boot on both ends.

Disconnect the door and main wiring harnesses.



Use needle nose piers to pull the blue wire out of the connector.
Pin 8 on the driver’s side. Pin 6 on the passenger side.

Strip the insulation and crimp on male Snap connector.

There will be excess wire from the wires you fed into the cab.

You’ll have to measure how much wire you’ll need and cut off the excess.

Cut back enough electrical tape to run the wires.

Strip the insulation off the ends and crimp on a female snap connector on the red wire.

The black wire will need a ring terminal.

I used a No. 3/8”. I know it’s meant for 12-10 AWG but I could not find one for 18 AWG that would fit my needs.

Just make sure it’s crimped on tight.

Connect Snap Connectors.

You’ll want to remove one of the 12mm bolts near the connectors to attach the ring terminal to it.

Driver’s side


Passenger side



Reinstall the floor panels you removed.

Reassemble the door..


You can now install the mirrors. There is no polarity so it does not matter where you put the wires.


After you’ve placed the mirrors you can now test them.

You will be able to feel them get warm.


If you have any questions you can either post a reply or send me a PM.

Out of curiosity, do you have a part number for the harness? I also want to do this, but would like to spend a bit more and get the right wiring.

No, not yet. Want to learn all I can before confronting the parts guys. They try, but need all the help we can give w/o vin.
