Adding power fold mirrors to 04 Denali?

[EfiniMotorsport]

I've got an 04 Yukon Denali and want to add power folding mirrors. I've got a set of housings from an 05 Esky that my brother needed the lenses out of. I did some searching to try and find out what else I need to get them to work on my truck. Has anyone done the swap or seen a write up? Everything I can find is 00-02 or 07+.

All you need is the pwr mirror fold switch, other then that everything is pnp. Tried it on my 03 Tahoe, it worked.

Your Denali doesn’t already have power folding mirrors? Every 2003-2006 Denali that I looked at for sale before buying my 2006 had power folding mirrors already factory optioned. I thought it was standard on a Denali!

All denalis have power folding mirrors.

What are the odds I never knew it? Now I've got to get out of bed and go check.

edit:
Easiest upgrade I've ever done. I now (know) I have power fold mirrors.

Yay! Haha easy upgrades are the best!

I went through 10 years of ownership on my 04 Tahoe before I figured it out. Young kid at a car wash told me about them. Spent all that time folding them in by hand when going into the garage.

So with that switch, all you would need to do is press it to open and close or hold it down to open and close?

You out the side selector arrow in the middle, and then you hold the right side of the square down for a second and it folds the Morris in. Then you hold the left side of the square down for a second and it’ll fold them back out.

Could it be possible that the mirrors were changed? I tried that and the mirror glass itself moves, they don’t fold in or out

If your mirror glass is moving than the selector arrow is not in the middle. It’s pushed to the left or to the right which will move one side mirror or the other.

Double checked it’s in center, that’s the only time when that part of the switch lights up. Unless my window switch needs replacing?

I just double checked my switch, which I know is fully functioning. The square directional adjust button has orange back lighting when the side arrow is in the center position. It does NOT illuminate when I switch it to left or right side for adjusting each side. So it would seem your switch is functioning the same as mine. But it shouldn’t be moving the mirrors when in the Center. With the arrows in the Center position, and illuminated, when you move the left and right side of the adjusting square switch, which mirror glass moves?!

Both driver and passenger sides move

Yeah that isn’t supposed to happen. Lol. It could be that the side selector arrow part of the switch has gone bad. I would pull the switch off the door panel when you get a chance and inspect the wires going into both pigtails for side mirror adjustments first. There could be a bad wire going into the switch causing the issue. If the wires check out then I would try a new switch. But I’ve never had this issue before so I’m taking shots in the dark. Lol

Thanks for the response Bigbear and Tonyrodz, I’ll check on that in the morning and respond back with findings and maybe more questions!

Sure thing. Quick question. What does your mirror adjust switch look like? This I presume:


Or does your square button have a different symbol on it?
