Camper mirrors

[belcha03]

i have the stock power mirrors but they arent heated and i am switching to the power heated camper mirrors and i need to know what i need to do to get them to be heated. thanks

[jadmax]

first thing is to find the wire that powers the heat grid then run that to a switch

[belcha03]

ok and that would be somewhere in the dashboard i assume

The heated mirrors are activated with your rear defrost so if you have this option you should be good to go. Just plug em in

You also may need to swap the main switch on the driver door to be able to activate the "power extend" feature

Do the GM mirrors power extend, like the Fords?

Mine do. When the left/right selector switch is in the middle position, use the left/right function of the four way adjust to move them in and out.

I think the 05, was the only year to do this. My 06 has diffrent mirrors.

There are two different styles of camper mirror. The ones with the accordian style rubber (older but do offer power extend) and the twin stalk (newer) with a much larger mirror (manual extend). The wire harness inside the door mey have all the wires on it for the power extend and you may not have to get a new switch it may also have the power for the turn signals. But if you do not have heated mirrors now you may have trouble adding them. The mirror heat switch usually is mounted in the center consule right next the the defrost button for your climate control.
I have helped a few buddies change their small mirrors to trailer mirrors (both styles). Two of them did not have heated and turn signal mirrors to begin with but after pluging them in the turn signals in the mirror worked and we found the wire for the heat in the mirror and found a corrisponding wire in the harness. After opening the dash in the center we found the same wire and just added a switch (from GM) and ran a power wire from the fuse block to it and the HEAT worked.

Where can I get a set of the accordian style power extend mirrors. I have an 2002 with power and heated mirrors.
