I don't have the complete answer for you, but I do have a piece to the puzzle---Besides the pwr fold mirrors, you'll also need the proper mirror switch. Don't buy a new switch from GM--you'll have to get it programmed to work. Get one from a jy. It'll work fine, and you won't need to program it.

I have done this project on my Tahoe and here is the process and information on installing my mirrors and repairs.
So you have to buy the folding mirrors simple to find they have 2 connectors also has a sticker saying DL3 (you will need the door harness for side mirror turn signals to work, or lazy way is to run a turn single wire to each mirror and find a ground.)

You can go 2 ways.


1. Buy new window switches BOTH driver and passenger and program them to a Vin number that has power folding mirrors.
Part # Driver - 20835553, Old numbers 15906881, 15093440, 20877336, 25783951 (there is a couple others but cant find them)
Part # Passenger - 20835554, 15093445 Old numbers 20877339 (there is a couple others but cant find them)

2. Buy used switches from a power folding mirrors SUV with RPO code DL3. Make sure to get both if buying from a junk yard ask them to send you the RPO code list in the glove box. You can PM me the Vin and I can check it for you if I have time (Holidays). Driver side is easy to spot if it has power folding mirrors. The hard part is finding the passenger side it could have the part numbers listed but be careful they can be used but not programmed for folding mirrors. I would check Ads that list the vin numbers or RPO code sheet or email and ask.

Years and Models You can get the switches from

Also it is very common for the plastic gears on the power folding mirrors to break here is a website that selling the gears but in brass or ready to go motors. (recommend the Pre-Attached Gears + 2 Motors)

Hi there
I just installed the mirrors on my truck
I installed the mirrors on an 07 SLT that came with the standard non fold
No puddle

The mirrors I attached have the puddle lights
But They both aren’t functioning
New bulbs in each

Is this a programming issue?

Kindve puzzled as to why they don’t work

Any thoughts?
Thx

Like tony said, they only work at night with oem keyfob, you can test them in daylight by covering the sun sensor on the dash with a jacket or something so it thinks it is nightime.
I wired mine to work with the interior lights because I use a aftermarket alarm keyfob and the interior lights work with the alarm.

You are going to have to trace the wires to the puddle lights and wire then to switch, or do the daytime running circuit.
