XLT Power Folding Mirrors Retrofit - How To

[Steve Feldkamp]

If you are referring to the plastic frame with space for the buttons to be put in place, that comes as part of the tow mirror package. The full featured tow mirrors I bought had this piece bent when I received it and had to ship back the huge box with the mirrors and this piece since it can't be bought/ordered separately. No idea who thought it was a good idea to place this fragile plastic piece on the outside of the packing foam....

Maybe try fairwayfordparts.com for the plastic part only.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the info in this thread. I have successfully installed power folding mirrors from an ICE Lariat on my 2023 F150 Lightning XLT using the info from this thread and the boosted grey goose harness. Everything is working (360, autofold, puddles). The drivers mirror supports EC but I didn't want that so I didn't bother with the wiring for that.

I am looking at a pair of power folding mirrors to put on my XLT. Does the fold motor work with 12 volts from the DDM?
Would like to put 12 volts and ground to terminals on mirror to bench test. Is this possible.

Yes, it's a 2 wire motor w/ forward/reverse via opposite polarity.

Thanks that helps. Wasn’t sure if it was a lower voltage coming out of the module. Can you tell me if all the functions of mirror will work if the telescope in/out is not hooked up? May do it at some point but really am only looking to add the power fold.

As a heads up to anyone doing this mod on a 2024 (and up, I presume), the programming has changed from the 21-23 model years.

Based on the information in livnitup's excellent spreadsheet, the power fold setting is now:

740/741-03-16 xxxx 03xx xxxx (original value: 02)

This is the only setting I needed to get the basic folding functionality (via the button) to work. It will need additional programming to enable the puddle lights/etc, but I haven't dug into that since the folding feature is the only part I really needed to (easily) park the truck in the garage.

Know how to do auto fold? I have a 24 powerboost xlt

Anyone that's used the Boosted Grey Goose harness to add the Power folding and extending tow mirrors to an XLT with 360 cameras know what the 2 extra connectors are for on the driver's side? The other extra plug is for the extending switch, but the other two which are very short don't seem to have anything to plug into.

Instructions doesn't say? Have pics?

No it is not mentioned in the directions, not even a "they aren't needed on some trucks, zip tie them out of the way." I did tie them up out of the way and made all the appropriate Forscan changes and everything works as expected. At this point I'm not too worried about it.

Could be for memory seats? What changes in forscan you did?

From their wiring you plug 4 wires to DDM and 4 wires to mirrors? And PDM 4 wires from dm to mirror?

I'm actually thinking it is for the memory door lock switch. I looked up what the plug on it looks like and one of them do appear to be similar to the ones in my picture. Because of how my truck was configured I only needed to do the autofold and extend in the door modules and then the autofold in the apim

Yes also the jumper from the window switch to the harness and it comes with the extender switch plug also. Like I said everything works as expected. It's just odd there's no real mention of those connecters.

Wiring like this?

I've been searching and searching and am still without an answer. Does anyone know the part numbers for a Power Fold, Heated, Loaded Mirror (all options...with camera, BLIS, Puddle Light, etc) in Iconic Silver for a 2023 XLT? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes all of those changes are in the harness, then also the plug for the extension switch, and these two plugs.
