2016 1500 tow mirror issue

MaineChevy · May 16, 2017

Hey guys, a while back I swapped to aftermarket tow mirrors, the old style. After seeing the new style on my dads hd I bought some off eBay from dt moto. Got them installed last night and now I have a weird problem. My drivers side won't go up or down, and the passenger side will only tilt in. The weird part is no matter where the mirror selector is if I push the adjustment button left both mirrors operate. Not sure what is going on. Any ideas

Thanks

Bryan

Hey Bryan, what can you tell me about what you had before the swap? Details of your truck would be helpful, year, trim level, etc. did you swap out your door harnesses? This sounds like you are an LT/SLE trim.

I have a 2016 LT 4x4. My stock mirrors were just power and heated. I then switched to aftermarket tow mirrors that were power and heated, the older style ones. I then switched to the newer tow mirrors and now they are acting funny. The heat works but I can move a mirror when the selector switch is in the neutral position and they do what my earlier post says. I wonder if I bent a pin o. The harness or something.

probably a mis-match of the new mirror pins with your current harness.

So I hooked up my old mirrors last night and I am having the same issue with the old ones. I looked the wiring over and all I can think is my switch is bad. I put my test light on the mirror harness and my test light lights up on the left and right pins, but it won't light up on the up and down pins. The only thing I can think of is my switch is bad.
