I have a '13 Laramie with tow mirrors.....I had the dealership swap to regular '13 mirrors....but I still get a code.
They just swaped the mirrors......I noticed some people mentioned swap the "door modules" as well. Is that needed and is that just what everything plugs into ?
Also, does the battery need to be unplugged to reset the computer for this ?
There is a sensor under the drivers side mirror. Also if you read older posts about upgrading to power mirrors with LED lamps there is no way to successfully flash the computer to recongnize the new mirrors. You may have to hard-wire them to get them the way you want. Just curious, you have the middle switch on your window control panel to power fold the mirrors? If so, I dont see a reason why the power folding option wouldnt work. Maybe the dealer did something wrong during install???
I had tow mirrors with blinkers and the down lights. The regular Laramie mirrors have blinkers and down lights too. I've read that people have swapped these with no problems.
However, I still get a check engine light...even though I swapped '13 mirrors with '13 mirros. Both have the sensor.
The modules are specific on options you have. They will need to take the door panels off to replace and it's not a big deal. They can't just swap out the mirrors and the door switch, they must also swap out the modules.
No, but the door panels come off in a matter of minutes. The door modules are mounted in the door very easy to access. I believe its held on with two bolts. I could literally have it down in 30 minutes each door.
Lizardking,
Sorry I was out of town for 45 days...just getting back up to speed. You posted interest in the '13 mirror swap from tow to regular mirrors. I saw somewhere you had success doing this.
I am wanting to do the same.....from what I gathered, the mirrors, modules, and door switches have to swap to work.
Just wondering if you found someone to swap with you or did you have to buy these items ? I haven't found anyone to swap with me yet, so was curious if I had to buy, how much that would be if you know.
Also, do you live in the Dallas,Tx. area by chance ?
I would love to trade mirrors and module for tow mirrors but Dallas is a little far. I'm in Montgomery AL. I would also love to buy tow mirrors, if you are wanting to sell yours. I just don't want to trade and then have similar problems with engine lights and Temp sensors and not be able to trade back.
I'm totally interested to find out if this works. My truck came from the factory with tow mirrors, I had the dealer swap to non tow but the power fold doesn't work. Temp/lights/heat etc all work, button and module swapped, computer flashed and still no fold. Another member recently traded mirrors (firemedic?) but I never saw a final post as to whether they actually got the fold to work or not...
I took the tow mirrors off my 13 and put the regular mirrors on from my 12. got the check eng light and temp read -41. Only 13 driver door mirror will work. found a pair on ebay and put em on and no problems. The temp sensor is in the left mirror on the 13
