Converting to Power Fold Mirrors

Dave O · April 29

Thanks for welcoming me into this forum. I have a 2018 Silverado LT. The side mirrors are manual fold towing mirrors with all the features like turn signal, reversing light, heated and marker lights. I have purchased power fold mirrors which are not towing mirrors but the regular style mirrors. These mirrors came from a 2500. They have all the features like being heated, turn signals and they have the puddle lights on them. The original owner of the 2500 had the dealer swap out these mirrors for towing mirrors. I have the regular size power fold mirrors and the door wiring harnesses plus a new mirror control switch.

My question is if use the wiring harness from the 2500 will the power fold mirrors work with no additional wiring performed.

I can't answer your question, but my guess would be no. I added power-fold mirrors to my 2022 Silverado 1500 using a kit from Boost Auto. Operation is a bit klunky, but they work fine with no hiccups

The expert on this kind of thing is @pgamboa but I haven't seen him on lately. You can try sending him a PM or try looking at his website at https://harnessdr.com/ and see he can answer your question.

He does offer an option here.

I had tow mirrors installed by the dealer. They replaced the door harness (still have the original if anyone needs it).
Later, I bought power fold tow mirrors from boost auto, no need for a harness but I did have to buy the folding switch setup for the door panel.

Problem solved everyone. When I purchased the mirrors, the seller gave me the mirror control switch and the wiring harnesses from his truck. The mirror control switch ( GM item 23154702) connected to my existing harness and voila, everything works great. No extra wiring required. One happy camper here.
