Awesome video! Also, something I learned during the process: if the T15 screw breaks, a #6 x 5/8" pan head sheet metal screw works great as a replacement. One of mine was essentially rusted in half and broke immediately. I didn't want to wait for a replacement so I headed to the hardware to find something that would work.

Excellent video, thanks! Do be advised that the little plastic tabs on the mirror become brittle out here in the SW desert after 5 years. I snapped off 3 of mine putting it back on, and I was gentle with it. Pulled it back off and used RTV to help hold it in place and all is well, and it should come back off down the road if need be without too much struggle.

Hi, I often follow your videos, thanks for all the help!!! However,I followed your instructions on checking my passenger turn signal and popped the mirror like you said. I could not check the function of the light connection with a test light. I was hoping to so that I didn't risk damaging the driver side. It didn't work so I did the same technique to the driver side and shattered the blind spot mirror. Mine is not the same as the passenger side. Now I am guessing that someone replaced it with aftermarket. I had to remove a screw to get the broken mirror off and the screw was located behind the mirror. They driver/passenger should be the same correct? 2011 Ram 2500 SLT. Thanks
@MotorCityMechanic
@MotorCityMechanic 7 жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear that it broke......you may be correct that someone replaced it. I havent had one with a screw holding it so it makes sense that it isnt OEM. The procedure for the drivers and passenger side should be the same procedure when trying to take it off. Thanks for watching the videos.
@tuneman59
@tuneman59 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks, yeah I thought it was aftermarket. No way to get the spot mirror off that I could see. The screw was behind the mirror glass. It was unfortunate that I couldn't have checked it without this happening. I didn't plan on having to buy a new mirror. I did find an OEM on eBay in excellent condition for less than half the price of new. Plus I found a matching light on ebay because the dealerships all have the newer version which does not match the original. So it'll all work out. Keep the videos coming, this truck is nice but it's been a handful since I bought it. Lol....

You have to have the vehicle configuration changed at the dealer. Its a procedure where they go online and add the sales codes related to those mirrors and lights. They then download that updated config to the vehicle and then the vehicle knows what it has and they should then work. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe

Hey David, love the videos man. I have a 2001 Ram 3500 with manual mirrors and no power door locks or windows. I also have a 2001 van that DOES have power windows, door locks and mirrors. How difficult a job would be for me to swap the doors and have power? Are the connectors necessary to do it already on the wiring harness? Would it just be a swap the doors, plug and play deal?
@MotorCityMechanic
@MotorCityMechanic 8 жыл бұрын
Evening, the main issue I would see is that I wouldnt think that the doors would be able to be swapped being that they are two completely different vehicles. That will also include all the internals as well. You will have to try to find another like truck that you can take parts of. When it comes to the wiring and connectors. Not all vehicles came prewired for items that they didnt have so you will more then likely have to modify the wiring.

Yeah both body styles are coming off the trucks as we speak. Call them 2019's if you like but they are being shipped with the previous body styles at the same time as they get rid of the older models that are still leaving the factories. Looking thru the service info....there is nothing about the mirrors being taken apart or the steps needing to be followed. It gets replaced as an assembly other then the glass/mirror portion.

I've got a hold of the service manual directions from a 2015 Ram but looking in over the top at the back of my 4th gen 18 Ram 1500 Laramie power fold mirrors... the attachment is definitely different than a standard mirror (pull down from the top) but I'm not sure if it's similar to the 2 panel tow mirrors (push up from bottom w/trim tool). If you want to shoot me an email I'll reply back with pictures, etc if you want when I get back up. Mpgrimm2@gmail.com

If you replace the unit with one that doesnt have the temp sensor....it can cause a check engine light in some cases.

Just a note. I have 2010 2500 with these folding mirriors just without the chrome. and while this process was great for my driver’s mirror, I found out the hard way that the passenger side spot mirror does not remove this way: are no clips. The only way mine could ever have been assembled was to screw the spot mirror platform into the mirror frame, and then stick the reflective surface to it. Disappointing. Now I have to find a replacement glass. But hey, with the reflective surface broken out I could remove the screw holding in the base and then get to the turn light. Thanks anyway.

I had a truck came with the towing folding mirror too. Didnt know how to remove the led signal? And i look into TechConnect they didnt explain how to remove the led signal light mirror. Where would you find in TechConnect when the information didnt explain the concave mirror suppose to removed, when they didnt say that in TechConnect. And i had to break the led signal just to get into the T-15??

+Song Yan when I went online to find the info on techconnect.....I search electrical......exterior lighting.....and lights/mirror. In that section it broke it down to folding tow and non-tow mirrors.

1999......didnt even remember us having mirrors with puddle lights back then. All the mirrors I can think off didnt come with any lights. Unless some swapped them for aftermarket assemblies. The service info also doesnt make mention of them either. When I pull up the list of bulbs for that vehicle.....nothing showing for the mirror.

When I did a search before what I saw did seem to be aftermarket replacements that were modified. They look very similar to the newer styles. Possible newer knock offs made to fit the older trucks.

On my 2013 dodge ram 2500hd laramie. Left turn signal was bad on mirror and had to replace the whole mirror head. Now when I turn on my left signal the dash indicator flashes fast at times but all others flash normal also states left signal is out. Thanks for any info

Well I followed your video step by step and the mirror cracked. I was trying not to apply a lot of pressure but it wouldn't budge. I had to order a replacement but I'm concerned that when I try to remove the one that's on there, I damage the assembly it clicks onto. These steps would definitely work on a 2014 Ram with towing mirrors?

That specific light is a video that I have on my "to film" list. I have been asked this recently by others. There are 2 mirror styles.....folding tow mirrors and none tow mirrors. I assume you have the non-tow version with the forward facing light on the bottom corner of the mirror. I can give pics of the steps in the comment section here. You can try to email me and I will send what I can find or give me a week or so and I will work on filming the repair. Email is david@motorcitymechanic.com if you so desire.

What about how to go from normal mirrors to those tow mirrors?
@MotorCityMechanic
@MotorCityMechanic 8 жыл бұрын
I actually did one of those swaps last week. Wish I had the time to have filmed it. The tow mirrors require installing a reinforcement bracket behind the door panel due to the added weight when it's unfolded. It came as a kit thru Mopar....both mirrors, brackets, and related bolts and thread inserts. To get the lights to work.....the sales options have to be changed online and downloaded to the vehicle. That means that you can do 90% of the swap but the dealer will have to do the other 10% to make them work correctly. Wish I had more time to film these type of repairs but the work load dictates that lol.

Aubrey Roche you can set the to turn on and off. I was playing with my truck and I can't remember if I access them through the media center with the radio portion or I was somehow able to access them through the instrument cluster with the controls on the steering wheel. Not sure if the manual tell you how to do this but you should play with settings on both and I'm sure you'll figure out how to turn them on. Had something to do with the timers on the headlights I think
