I have a 2016 Silverado w/t with only power option. I am wanting to upgrade to tow mirrors and would like to know what my options are. I would love to go to the new 2016 tow mirrors with blinkers and led but I need to know if that is an option. Does anyone have any info on this and maybe someone has a diagram of my wiring harness and the 2016 tow mirror diagram. Thanks in advance

Do you have power mirrors? Not power Folding but power adjusting rather?

 

Also - If you can get me a picture of the body side door connector, I can tell you if you can. I haven't worked with a WT truck yet... but willing to get give it a shot.

 

Here is what would be involved:

 

Open the Driver Door. You'll see this boot/connector. Remove this connector. I don't need a picture of the connector itself but would need to see its mate. With the connector removed, use your phone and try to take a couple of shots (might need more than one to capture all the pins) that show the pins.

Here is what it would look like:

These are the pins we are looking for:

I don't know what he's working on ^^^^

But to date you have needed to swap both door harness and add the mirrors, not necessarily cheap but it can be done.
Interested to see how this goes

Even with the dl3 harnesses you still don't have 100% functionality. With pgamboa's custom harnesses, everything is plug and play. You just need the mirrors, folding switch and Phil's custom harnesses. It looks like the WT has the required pins on the body side plug. Pgamboa has the kit needed for this mod in the FS section now. All you would need is the switch.

Was there a final verdict on upgrading a WT? I have a new to me 2016 Sierra 2500 that came with newer mirrors that are not hooked up is my guess.  The truck originally came with DE2 mirrors and somebody put on mirrors that have the blinker, running lights and side lights that I know of but none of it is working.  I was needing to know how to tell what kind of mirrors I have now DPN or DQS and what I would need to activate them.  I have pin 1, 2, 3, 9, 11, and 41.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

PM Me. I have some several WT trucks with DE2 mirrors to Tow Mirrors and even gained power fold.

If you have power windows, you can upgrade.

Hey- I also have a 2016 Silverado 2500 HD Duramax WT- I have power windows, power locks and tow package- but no power at all to the mirrors. THe dealer tells me there is no way to upgrade- I will check the harness- thank you for the pictures!

 

BTW- if I can upgrade, what do I need to get?? And from where?

Welcome to the site.

 

He will see now that you were asking him a question.

I have done this upgrade MANY times :).

I can supply you with all you need. The kits runs around $510. Not including mirrors. This is custom door harnesses, driver door panel harness, new bezel, switch. I can also supply mirrors as well. Pricing differs from $495-$555 manual fold or $1058 for power fold.

Hello everyone. I just purchased a 2012 gmc Sierra reg cab wt. It has pw, pdl, cc, steering wheel controls but has de2 manual mirrors. Is it possible to add power mirrors. I don't need power folding although that would be nice I mainly want power mirrors with defroster if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check out harnessdr.com.
@pgamboa has some great upgrade harnesses.
You'll have to source the new mirrors separately.
The mirror controls, as well, I'm sure.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
