Wow, don't know where I've been but I didn't notice you got it to work. Awesome! When you can, give us the full write up? That is super cool. My bro in law has been bragging about his Avalanche PFM and I'm about ready to shut him up He can keep his Chevy. As long as we have the F150 Online board we can see that factory option and raise it a mod

Until we get the correct info on where these dam wires really go on the relay, this project is DEAD. That's $33.00 in relays so far, I know someone took pictures (and I thank you)of the harness but we need to see the wires in relation to the relay plug.

Eureka!! I now have (factory style) power folding mirrors on my FX4 Supercab. With just the information found on this thread you will find all the part numbers, the diagrams needed to wire in the factory power folding module, and the instructions to install the new mirrors. I say factory style because I provided the fused power supply from the battery to run the power folding feature of these mirrors. I am trying to keep my warranty valid by not breaking into the truck’s wiring harness. Everything about the install looks and operates exactly like as if it where factory installed. It is sweet!!! No more grabbing a mirror covered in sand, and slush just so I can fit through the garage door.

Some of the things that might be valuable to know are. The existing mirror control switch in my FX4 ends up being the same as the switch I ordered, I did not use the new one 5L3T 17B676-AA3JA6, all I did was add a wire to the plug at pin location 4 and it works the way it should. Another place one could save a little money is the plug for the PFM Part # 3U2Z-14S411-ASAA. The plug layout is the same as a regular 5 pin ford relay switch so you can find cheaper plugs that will fit and do the same job. When you interpret the diagram for wiring the PFM assume you are looking at the receiving side of the plug with the wires coming out of the back.

This is the diagram I was talking about
I have created a gallery with four diagrams that should help you figure it out.
