My 05 Duramax driver mirror would not retract, watched your video and it helped me narrow it down to the black connector, but it was hard to see what terminals you powered up to manually engage it to go in or out. Might be helpful to others if you add it in the description. Black wire neg, black with red stripe pos will extend. reverse polarity to retract. Cheers, and thanks for the vid

putting that right in description thanks. I have 2 spare mirrors if you need parts, I got 2 nicer take-offs and can sell the parts in mine (those in the video).

This is like the only video of these towing mirrors on you tube. Mine never really worked that great. Took them apart on the truck and cleaned the tracks. I pulled the motors and tightened up the slipper clutch on the gear and they work alot better now. The passenger side still sticks a little when fully collapsed, but it always did. They at least work better now. They're almost 15 years old.

I have 2 fully working spares now. Bought them to replace the casing of my driver one. I keep the tracks lubed up with fluid film but also use them all the time so they never stick now

I just located a pair of these to go on my truck. They extend, but do not retract, is there a different switch that's needed for this? My truck had power folding factory mirrors with heat, turn signals, etc. Or is it possibly as simple as moving a wire in the plug(s) that go to the switch controls?

@@paulkerpash3668 What year is your truck. If it's newer than maybe 05-06 I don't think these type will work. Mine stopped working now and sometimes the ds works. They aren't the best design. I think there was an aftermarket one that looked similar.

I like these, they are the stockers. They are perfect with the trailer once extended, and retract when trailer is off. Plus they are quiet on the highway. I dont have any reason to replace them yet.

lot of the time it's the spring on the opposite side that is too strong which burns out the motor. if u cut a coil out and reinstall it should keep the new motor happy.
@Nordic_Mechanic6 жыл бұрын
It can't be as there is no such spring to work agaisnt it. The only spring is to fold it, and that works on the hinge, not the sliding motion. Also you can't burn the motor since it has a clutch if the mirror woul be stuck. Unless you hold the button for hours on end it wont burn. You have the wrong model in mind.

I already got the heated seats and switched all installed and working. my mirror only has cosmetic damage. If you can sell the casing or a non working mirror with intact casing, I might consider. It's not worth 150$ to me right now as I need to buy a rear dually fender and thats over 4 figure canuckistan :s I'll have to repair mine and color code it as well
