Chris - is that thing thats kinda like a lever what you are talking about when you refer to as block and if so, what's the best way to get it through there? We have not found a user friendly way to do it. The only other guy I know with this accursed block drilled a hole in it, and spliced the wires into the boot.. My 4x4 Tracker (Suzuki) has something like this. It's usually used on four wheels that might get deep in water, I think. On my Tracker I drilled a separate hole, using a 90 degree drill head adaptor. Then I added my own boot and harness, a two dollar pair of rubber boots I scrounged at pick-a-part. Works, looks OK, but was twice the work I had expected to do. Chris |

Here are some pics of my rubber boot running from the door to the outter cab wall.
This one has the "white" lever closed https://www.f150online.com/galleries...743-125529.jpg This one has the "white" lever down or opened https://www.f150online.com/galleries...743-125530.jpg Can anyone please tell me how to fish wires through that? |
The only guy I know that had that, by passed it by putting a second hole in, then 'blending' the boots together.

I will try to make this work with the factory switch, I'm very good with this type of stuff. Does any one have the wire lay out for the factory switch?
This is all I'm missing. Thanks Tim :help: |
I'll post some diagrams when I get home tonight. The one I posted looks to me like it will work but I haven't had time or money to test it.

Greetings. I'm new to the forum and to Ford trucks. I recently purchased an '05 XL standard cab and, while my mirrors do fit going into the garage, I only have a total of 3/4" clearance so it's only a matter of time. I have two questions:
1) Does anyone know if the mirrors in this discussion will physically fit my truck? I'm not too worried about the wiring, I can handle that. 2) I have seen several posts relative to removing door panels but most of them have been for '04s or other cab models. Can anyone give me any guidance for my truck or maybe a link. I would like to get in there and just see what's already there in the way of wiring. Thanks, Bob |
I would have to say that your truck is probably already wired for it. It is my understanding that they wire all trucks the same then add whatever in the end to decide what package the truck has.

You should be able to click Here and see all the diagrams I could think of to include. If you need more just let me know and i'll post them if I have them.
:beers: |

:beers: Thank You very much for the help. When I get this to work I will let everyone know. Tim :rocker: |
Also what is the last one for? the one with only 5 pins. RELAY??
|
From the diagrams it appears to have 2 relays in it. It is the factory Pfm module it is like what was mentioned earlier here about the auto up/down modules. Only its wired differently I called and the module is only like 15 bucks.

Copied the diagrams for the door locks the other day, will stop in and get the diagrams for the PFM system this weekend.
On getting the door panels off the '05, pretty easy, just the screws at the bottom of the door and the two behind the inside handle. The only thing you need to remember is to pop the bottom speaker mounts after taking the speakers out, they will keep the panel from lifting up. |

Thanks for info on the 05 door panels. How about the window handle? Do they have c-clips or is there another method for removing them? Do I need any kind of special tool?
Thanks. |
