Phil,

Yes my truck does have the button on the lower right corner of the HVAC control panel for the heated mirrors only. Lights up and heats the mirrors when I depress it and shuts off on it's own after some unknown period of time if I forget to !!

Very cool. I’ll look at the schematics again. I’m starting to think it’s the same circuit for both driven from the same button. Thanks!

Hi, I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 LT, front and back defrost, powered mirrors and manual fold. I'm wanting to eventually get tow mirrors with lights, and might as well get it heated too. Would the heat option sync into the rear defrost as I'm seeing in the comments?

 

Looking at options on sites like rock auto or 1aauto that are compatible to my truck but don't specify the trim needed, should they work fine? I'd like the lights to work atleast

Hey Phil,

Are you still helping folks add heated mirrors to their LTs? Honestly I took them from granted in my previous truck and didn’t realize how important they were.

This one is probably a little difficult.

The heat circuit at the door jamb that gets delivered to the mirror ties into the rear window defrost. So if you don’t have rear window defrost, you will not be able to gain this on the mirror.

I don’t know of a workaround to accomplish this.

Hello, I have a 2016 Silverado 1500 LT and have the heated rear defrost option. I recently installed a set of towing mirrors that have the heated mirror, turn signal indicators, and the LED puddle lights. The motor to move the mirror works great but would be real interested in getting the other features working. Is this possible? 
 

Thank You!

Good afternoon, my wife just purchased me a 2014 GMC Sierra SLT 1500. I want to upgrade the mirrors to tow mirrors with cargo lights, turn signals and power fold if possible. Heated would be nice, but I don't know if I'll be able to get any of these functions to work because the stock mirrors are manual fold and power adjustment only... I see many options online to purchase the tow mirrors, but don't really know which ones to buy and I also see a stand alone harness that's supposed to make it plug and play, but I'm not sure it will work with my truck.

 

The build date is 10/13 if that helps...

 

Can anyone help me with the right mirrors at a reasonable price and also guide me in the right direction to make the mirrors work...?

 

Thanks in advance!

I have successfully added heated mirrors to my 2014 wt no rear defrost or heated mirror option. it was alot of work but can confirm rpo code of truck and it works. had to reprogram hvac module after all the wiring and swap out fuse box as well.  I took a picture of power to wire feed when hitting defrost button.  I just need a bcm reprogram for the windows and heated seats and fog light for next project.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug

      PS: Here's pic of the 2014 wheels I'd like to run when it's not winter. Stuck my finger around new wheel caliper setup. Very little clearance. I suspect these won't fit, but won't know for sure till I try.   Edit: And my first mod. Stubby antenna from the old truck.
