Thank you for showing me the way to put towing mirrors onto my 2003 F-250 6.0l.
I luckily had the wiring all wired up for the heating and blinkers, etc. That was the headache I wasn't looking forward to. I am super stoked that I got it all done in about 1.5 hours. Much appreciated! I am happy with my purchase, but now I just hope the glass mirrors don't rattle like a few ratings suggested. I chose the look that you put on, but not OEM, I don't think. Was about $149 for the set on Amazon with the best ratings out of all the mirrors that would fit. I used the old rubber seal because the new ones were very thin, cheap foam. Thanks again!

Have a 2005 F350 Super Duty Lariat. Replaced passenger side tow mirror this morning. Ordered Trailridge mirror from 1A Auto. Packaged well and exact match. Used this video to replace. Went great. Thank You!!!

Looks easy enough that I will attempt this myself as I need to replace both mirrors on my 04 Super Duty.

Great video. My 1999 F250 required I remove the speaker to connect the power cord but it was easy. I know I would have screwed it up had I not watched the video.

I’m not really good at making repair, but had no issue. I was shocked I did not drop the nut in the door. Just tilt the racket handle downward to hold the nut and pretend it is a game of operation. I used a hook to pull the cable through for the mirror connection (fat hands). I would suggest lowering the window first before unhooking the battery. It makes handling the mirror much easier. I had a duh moment.

I have a 2001 f250 with the power mirrors... Question is I don't have the signal or heated mirrors but are power will all the functions of the new mirrors work or just the power?

To prevent losing a nut from a socket, try using a small piece of paper over the end of the socket to make a tighter fit on the nut.

I have a 2001 F350 7.3L Crew Cab and mine doesn't have a mirror connector on the door. The wires go from the harness through the hole into the mirror. I took the dust cover off the mirror outside and it then goes into the arm and then into the mirror. PS I found out someone had cut the stock connector off and hard wired it in. Also my connector I found out on the passenger side is round not rectangular. Does anyone know what shapes go with what years? Thanks for the tips 1A Auto, love your videos. Best Wishes & Blessings.

@stlouissux9119 You may want to check your fuses to see if any of them are blown.

So I have a 2001 f250 and the previous owner changed the mirrors to the 08 ones can I switch back to the original ones or would I have the change the wiring harness?

Used this video before and used it again 😁

Most grateful for the video. Made the job very easy.

Keep a magnet handy to place alongside the socket extension and the nut will stick to it and not fall in the door.

The steps helped at lot. You said 11 and 17 mm sockets. I needed to use an 11 and 7mm.

i know it's 11 years later, but fantastic video!!! I HATE working on my '99 F-250 SD and figured there wasn't any way in heck Ford would require taking the whole dang door panel off just to unplug the mirror. Alas, I was wrong. Excellent video, but terrible design by Ford!

@stlouissux9119 You could test the switch with a test light to see if there's power going to it and from it. That way it would take the switch out of the equation if it was working.

When I took off the nuts, I loosened them with my impact and then carefully grabbed them with needle nose pliers. Fortunately I didn't drop one
