I hate to see someone talking to themselves.

I am willing to make a guess. Heated mirrors were probably available on Expys and Navigators and maybe King Ranch models. The part you are looking for would probably be listed as an Expy part, not an F150..

Nope... not on the KR. I believe that the Blackwoods might have come with them though.

Even if you manage to find the part(s) you are looking for the wiring harness probably won't contain the wires you need. Expy/Navi models have a different harness than an F150.

:o Forgot about the Blackwood, of course they only made it one year.

i just can't understand why they have a location in the fuse block and it says option in the manual if they don't offer it i guess i will have to live with it.
Thanks for the help.

Another interesting qwerk that the brilliant engineers at FoMoCo engineered in to make those of us that are gurus about our trucks think about and ponder the functionality.

Actually, my hunch is that it's the same fuse block as the Expy has (as well as the Blackwoods) thus, I bet it might work with a little work.... there's the statement of the day huh? "might work with a little work..." I'm brilliant!

All technical manuals are written by the type of people you would expect would write technical manuals.

Geek1: "Our documentaion shows position 42 of the TS-4375/B panel is used for 'HEATED MIRRORS'; however they are not available on this model.

Geek2:"Well we can't skip position 42, or people will think we forgot it."

Geek1: "Let's say it's an option, because technically it is an option, just not on this model."

Geek2:"Cool. Let's watch Star Trek."

LMAO. Photon phasers at full blast.. or something..

Actually technical manuals are written by "technical writers" who most of the time have no technical knowledge. That's why you have the typical "Put bolt #12 into nut 16 and tighten part #20".. Then you end up with 3 extra bolts, 2 missing nuts.. Sorta like the Hellwig anti-sway bar I just installed last weekend LOL. Sorry, cheap shot . Actually that was a fun little project, it was the re-painting that was a pain.

Just stick a fuse in there and see if they will heat up. If they do then it is no longer an option but rather standard equipment....
