I ordered these https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trail-Ridge-Towing-Mirror-Power-Fold-Heat-Memory-Smoke-Signal-OAT-Chrome-for-GM/232440504616?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

with the hopes of being plug and play but the marker lights and reverse spot light aren't working. The instructions aren't the greatest and wiring isn't my specialty. Has anyone installed these? My truck is a 2014 LTZ, came stock with power fold mirrors, with puddle lights and turn signals in the mirrors. Thanks!

The reverse spot should of came with two wires along the mirror to tap into where you want it. Pretty sure the aftermarket mirrors are only signals as well unless you do the light upgrade from Boost

I bought similar mirrors from trail-ridge only function I don’t have is power folding/memory. I didn’t use there wiring, I purchased new wiring harnesses from Pgamboa making it plug and play.

I ran my ground wires to the ground in the door.  From there I ran the spots to the cargo lamp fuse on the passenger side and the marker light wire goes to the fuse under the driver side for marker lights.  

 

I like the cargo switch better.  I have extra light to the rear when loading stuff in the dark.  Besides the lights don’t put out enough light to actually assist in backing up.  I’d actually think they’d be annoying.  That and I have an opt7 triple under my tailgate that puts out enough light and then some for backing up .

You need to re pin the door harnesses there is a thread on this. And a member Pgamboa can send you full door harnesses or a DIY kit to re pin your own which I did. Everything will work like factory.

    • Yes, and only a couple years before delivery. 🙄
    • So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it. 
    • New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.  
    • Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
