2018 GMC Sierra SLE Tow Mirror X600 Pin Install Help

[Letsdoit]

Ok, I've got the tow mirrors, I have the recommends pins, and I know the pin locations in my case 9, 11, 41. What I cannot find ANY WHERE is how to correctly install the pins into the door connector the plugs in the X600. My understanding its important because if you screw up, well, your in big trouble. I've watch various YouTube videos but because of poor lighting, big hands, cramped space, small pins it's hard to see. So does anyone have anything that DETAILS the correct orientation when inserting pin in connector slot? Appreciated, thanks.

Only goes 1 way (actually 2 ways - 180°).  The tangs on the terminal is what keeps those terminals in and without a special fork tool to depin, have to be 100% sure on position.

Thanks pgamboa, there be the problem. One YouTube video shows crimp (flat surface) installed facing bottom, another shows crimp (flat surface) installed facing top, towards GM logo on top. Boost was nice to reply when I asked them quote '

you will insert the terminal with the retention tabs facing down towards the white locking tab. The flat side of the terminal should face up, away from the white locking tab.' unquote.  I'm a visual type guy.  Cheers

Sorry previous quote was for wrong connector. Should be for door connector from Boost  quote '

The terminal on the Door connector is inserted with the crimp facing down towards the base of the connector.' So guess that will be the way it'll go. Thanks
