REMOVAL OF EXISTING MIRRORS
1. Have both windows in the down position. To remove the trim panel on both doors, first remove the panel around the door handle, using 10 mm socket remove the screw holding the door handle. Next remove the four screws that hold the door trim panels in place (See diagram A on page 5). Remove the door trim panel by lifting up and then out.
2. Unplug the electric cord that comes from the mirrors located at the rear of each mirror at the mirror mount area.
3. Support the stock mirror while removing the 3 mirror mount lug nuts using a 10 mm socket. Save the stock nuts for later in the install.
4. Remove the stock mirror (save the stock gaskets as they will be re-used).
ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING POWER VISION MIRRORS:
1. Attach the mirror door mount bracket (“mount”) to the mirror using 3 of the #8 screws with yellow patch provided in the hardware bag. (Note: This is also where you can adjust the sweep of the mirror in relation to the door later on if necessary.)
2. Plug the cord coming through the mount into the cord under the boot.
3. Place the open end of the boot around the lip on the mount to hold it in place
4. Insert the studs provided (3 for each side) with the tapered end out (see diagram E). They should screw into the mount up to the stop line – approx. 1cm or 3/8 of an inch. Next line up the mount with the stock gasket and the outer trim gasket, apply the mount to the door, while supporting the mirror, and add the stock nuts. Tighten the stock nuts to 70 inch pounds. There must be adequate foam around the front and bottom edges to prevent the mount from making direct contact with the painted door (straighten out the outer gasket to keep it straight and in place). This gasket is necessary for sealing against moisture and wind noise and to keep from metal to metal contact. (Hint, taping the outer gasket to the edge of the mount will assist holding it in place.) After the mirror has been mounted simply cut the tape and peel it off of the mount.
5. Repeat this process for the passenger side.
WIRING
YOU MUST HAVE STOCK MANUAL MIRRORS TO FOLLOW THE BELOW WIRING INSTRUCTION…IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MANUAL MIRRORS THE WRONG SET HAS BEEN ORDERED. THE INSTRUCTION TO INSTALL THE GLASS TILT SWITCH ARE ENCLOSED WITH THE SWITCH ITSELF.
TURN SIGNAL WIRING: If you ordered a kit without the turn signal (TK) option, skip to the “mirror wiring” section below. We recommend removing the air bag fuse during installation.
1. Run the two strand grey wire that is coming off the driver side mirror from inside the door, through the boot connecting to the cab, and into the cab to the driver side kick panel area. (Hint: if you have trouble running the wire into the cab, see step 3 of “mirror wiring”). Label the red wire “driver”.
2. Run the two strand grey wire that comes off the passenger mirror into the cab, across (underneath the dash) the cab and to the driver side kick panel area. Label the red wire “passenger”.
3. Take the black wire from the driver side two-strand harness and the black wire from the passenger side and crimp them together in the ring terminal provided. The turn signal system can then be attached to the grounding bolt near the kick panel area.
4. Remove the floor board trim. Lift the carpet to reveal the parking brake grommet. Using an awl or other suitable tool, puncture two small holes through the rubber grommet. Route the two red turn signal wires along side the stock wiring down through the grommet holes. Seal holes with automotive sealant if desired.
