New HD Mirrors


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey Johnston149, I have a 2015 Duramax I bought in April. Mine came with the plain black mirrors with out the amber lights and the LED lights. What do I need to hook the new mirrors up like you have. Thanks

You'll have to run your own wiring to get them to come on in reverse. They are very bright and are great for hooking up to a trailer at night. The light does not shine into the cab all.. Got mine running in reverse and as puddle lamps. Painted mine a9ef24a81b2f21bfa26ea718a10b06d2.jpg

Along with the new power fold mirrors, you'll need the driver side power fold switch. There's no need for a new panel as the switch will fit like factory. The power fold will work properly with just the switch, but to get the amber clearance light/blinker, and reverse led to work, this should help.... The solid orange wire is for the front amber light in the slot "#1"on the plug. You can move and connect to slot "13" Red/blue stripe to have it on with your blinker or you can wire your own as running light.

The solid Yellow wire is for the 2 little white led in slot "#2" on the plug .You can run your own wire and connect to the reverse light or you can move it to slot "#1" to have it on as your puddle lights.

What all did you do to paint them? My 2015 2500 is on order and I ordered the new mirrors. I like chrome but I kind of like the way you did your mirrors.

Do the new power fold mirrors have the ambient temp sensor in them? Is anyone else having problems with a CEL? Code says ambient temp sensor. On the old right mirror it has a puddle light and something else. is that the sensor? If it is the new mirrors don't have it. Unless it's hidden inside. I just installed the new powerfold towing mirrors and having trouble the the CEL. THANKS

Yep, someone on duramax forum or diesel place forum ran into that problem.

What is the part number of your RH mirror, I can look it up and double check it is the correct mirror for diesel application. Also do check as SMiller mentioned the other forum as one person mentioned he had to switch a couple of wires around to get the sensor working. Post back when/if you get this sorted out so that anyone else who has the issue will be able to fix it as well.

These are the part numbers

23241467 And 23241465

I show the usage for that RH mirror (23241467) as "Excluding RPO K40" which is diesel exhaust brake, so my guess is it would not have the temp sensor in it.

 

CK1,2,3(43-53) LH & RH,WIDE
LOAD,VERT GLS,MAN
EXTEND,PWR FOLD,HTD,T/SIG O/S
MIR(DQS),(EXC EXH CONT ENG
BRK(K40)
I show 23241469 as being the correct part number
MIRROR, O/S RR VIEW
(INCLS 1-9,12)
(CHROME)CK2,3 (03-43-53)
(AVF,DQS,K40)

 

Hope this helps

Wow thanks. Is that part the power folding tow mirror as well?

Yes DQS is the RPO code for power fold, AVF is the RPO code for 2015.5+ trucks (DQS mirror is only available on 2015.5+ trucks from factory).

 

Note: Please confirm with your local parts dept (or dealership contact) that the parts I have listed are correct, I'm not a parts guy so I am not 100% confident in my info (but it should be correct, if I can read properly, lol)

Lol. The dealership I spoke with today was a total waste of time. I explained the issue and he persisted in telling me that I can only replace the mirror that came with the truck. I told him I wanted the new powerfold mirror and he said I couldn't do it. some of these people are complete morons. I apologize if I offend anyone in here. But cmon. He couldn't even tell me if part 23241469 is for a diesel truck. I'm so pissed.

Hmm perhaps you could try calling another dealer and will have better luck? Or maybe someone else on here with access to EPC will chime in and confirm my findings? What I find really confusing is that many people have been purchasing the other part number and installing on diesel and not having an issue when that part number in EPC clearly states that its not compatible with diesel exhaust brake K40.
