    I'm having the same issue as the OP. It's been doing it for a while, but I've put up with it. Now it's getting worse. Guess it's time for a new system.

    And if I remember correctly Phil has a contact for the OEM mirrors at a good price and has the switch and makes the harnesses so it's kinda a one stop shop if you get them through him. Oh and you'll be helping a guy that's helped a ton of us.

    Personal opinion here. I had DL8 mirrors and talked the dealer into tow mirrors without power fold. If I had it to do over again I would definitely get the mirrors with power fold. Even if I had to pay for them. Is it a big deal, no, but to me it would be worth it to have them. And if you're buying the mirrors and harnesses anyway go ahead and spend the little extra to get the power fold mirrors.

    Shhh, but If you slip the truck into neutral the lights will work.

    The factory prep package can't be added aftermarket. At least not that I can ascertain. Which hitch do you currently have? I have a gooseneck rail adapter for the Curt EZ-Lockr and it worked well with the Curt roller and A16. I don't use it anymore because I changed the hitch to an Andersen Ultimate aluminum hitch. If you're set on the turnover ball I'd suggest installing that in your truck and using the rail adapter you linked above.

    Phil, I have a set of DPN mirrors and your harnesses. If I order the 1A or AM mirrors to get power fold, do I need to do anything except order a switch?
  7. Davidj101
    Thanks for posting this Phil. I was about to order a set of tow mirrors form 1A, but I'll wait to see if this is resolved and if it isn't pretty quickly, I'll go with OEM DPN mirrors.

    Does the original sales order list the mirror upgrade specifically as DQS or power folding tow mirrors? If so, then they have the obligation to provide them. If so, then I'd demand that the dealership have the parts department purchase the mirrors and either hand them to me or have them installed. I'm not sure who ADI is or why they're involved. I assume that they're a third party installer contracted by the dealership to perform sales addons. I bet they ordered the wrong mirrors and now don't want to be stuck with them.

    2) If you've already made the deal on the DQS mirrors, they should provide them and not charge you any more. I still think you're way better off having them physically install the DQS mirrors that they promised and give you the harnesses. It's really easy to remove the door panels and swap the harnesses. Watch Phil's video a few times and follow it and you won't have any problems and I promise you won't break anything. Pick up a set of trim tools from a local auto parts store.

    I would have the dealer install the DQS mirrors and give me the harnesses, and I'd install them myself. That's the easiest and best way to go at this point.

    I also notice that Sirius drops a lot more in my Sierra than it does in the dw's Acadia or than it did in the Ram. It's definitely a radio issue and not a satellite service issue. I don't think these systems buffer the signal like others do, so they drop immediately upon losing signal.

    I'll be putting mine in the mail tomorrow. We all need to be sure to send the harnesses back. Even people who have had the dealers change them. You should have gotten the original harnesses back and it would do people in the future a good turn if you would send them to Phil. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

    I do have bed lights and that just adds to it. I used a 1N5408 diode, which is a 3 amp diode, but it has slightly smaller diameter legs compared to the 1N4004 (1.3mm to 2.3mm) which makes it easier to insert beside the crimped connector. It stays in place well. I ordered 20 of them and I'm going to keep an extra, so I have 18 that I'd be willing to send anyone that needs them. Just PM me your address and I'll drop one in the mail to you. Free of charge!

    I'm sure you already have it back together, but for future reference. Make sure you have the cam lock handle at least 90º to the connector body. A little more is better. Then you shouldn't have to force the connectors together. Once you have them lined up, they should start together and then the cam-lock will mate them correctly. It is a little bit of a pain getting the halves lined up correctly so that they slide together.

    Just did this mod yesterday, and it is awesome. I wondered if having the upper cargo lamps on would reflect too much light when reversing, but they don't at all. And those combined with the mirror lights, increase camera visibility immensely.
