Ok caught my mistake, I was looking the pins wrong. Both mirrors have a pin and wire in slots 7 & 16. So got that figured out.

SCCULLY, with the new switch would the splicing a wire idea work? Passenger ran to driver, pigtailed to the switch? Run 2 wires one for slot 7 and another for 16.

You might want to call and see if you can cancel that order, it is the same switch you have now, and without the power fold module ( from a 2006 King Ranch ) it will not do you any good. You can't make it work like the DPDT momentary switch.
You only options are to use switch(es) like tg150 did, or get the power fold module to use the factory switch.

The connectors for installing newer mirrors ( 07+ MY ) on a 04-06 MY

Old connector pin out


New connector pin out


This also gives you the pin numbers to check against what you have ( numbers are the same for 04+ MY mirrors ).

The power fold is marked on the connectors.

Crap, ok thanks. I'm assuming tasca sells the module correct? Is the module difficult to hook up?

OK so after comparing the old/new connector pin outs, this is what I've come up with and need help with.

- Pin 2

Old - Grounds
New- Exterior rear view mirror signal return

Do I just leave it grounded or should I pull it out entirely?


- Pin 8 Old needs to be moved to Pin 11 New for Interior lamps switch power

Now is this for the puddle lamps on the mirrors?

- Pin 9
Old - Grounds
New - Exterior rear view mirror signal

Same question as above, do I leave ground or pull out entirely?

I understand pins 7 & 16 are blank on my current connector. So I will be buying a factory pigtail and breaking it down to have wires/pins to put in those empty spaces.

Alright I've decided to go with the power fold module and make everything look stock. After a few hours of research and looking at old threads I believe I have all the wiring figured out and how to connect it to the module. I drew out a temp wiring diagram and will make a color coded one, SSCULLY or anyone else if you could please review it when I do I would appreciate it. I just ordered the module and pigtail so this install probably won't happen till next weekend if my parts are in by Friday.

SSCULLY please review my post above regarding switching the pins around and please let me know what you think about the questions I have. I appreciate all the help you guys have given me and am looking forward to this mod.

Here is the mirror diagram for the 2008 MY.



Pin #2& #9 are for the auto dimming feature, which you do not have.
That goes to the auto dimming interior mirror unit. Unless you plan on buying this also.

All the individual ground are removed and changed to the single ground wire on pin #8.

The puddle lamp circuit gets moved ( pin #11 )

Ok on the grounds, do I combine all 3 and pigtail into 1 then go to the harness pin 8? Or do I remove 2 and use only one? Sorry just want to clarify.
