Adding Power fold Mirrors to your T1 truck without the memory package

Lowrado20 · August 8

So with the Amazon module hooked up the way they say to. Does anyone have issues with the mirrors??? More so with a remote start. If I remote start then I have to shut off and restart for the mirror to unfold if not the mirror attempts to unfold but won’t. Maybe I got a bad module??

I don't use remote start very often. But I just did and mirrors remain folded. The mirrors do not unfold with remote unlock or with the exterior buttons on the door handle. Once in the truck pushing the brake pedal and the start button the mirrors remain folded. Using the switch the mirrors can then be unfolded.

Switch as in the lock switch?? Or do you have a separate switch installed?

The switch is the momentary switch I installed.

No, that switch will not work, I attempted to make it work without success.

I bolted and wired up the mirrors last night per your diagram. Worked right away and super happy with it. One issue I had was if I play with lock/unlock while driving, the mirror actually folded and would not open again (I have not done the momentary switch yet). I want to get the two lamps going... the one that faces forward and rear next. I do have the task lamp wiring. I just need to find the pin map for this mirror and re-pin it to match the same wire that powered the task lamp on my previous stock mirror. It will be my life's mission to figure out how to get that OEM switch panel mirror fold button to work. : )

Great job. Let me know if you do get the OEM switch panel to work.

Will pressing the switch say to the left always unfold mirror and pressing to the right unfold or does it depend on the position they are at when pressing switch?? Only asking as I’m looking for a switch and one says in/out.

I am pretty sure I put the info on the switch I used in on of my posts. The switch had 3 connections. Center connection is for power. Connect the fold out wire from both mirrors to one side and fold in to the other side. I installed the switch in verticle orientation. When I press and hold my switch up it closes the mirrors and down opens them.
