I recently purchased a pair of power folding mirrors for a unpassable price, with plans of flipping them if I can't add them to mine.

I have a 2013 RAM tradesman. I have seen that you can purchase the door modules, switch, and have dealer flash the sales code.

However I can't tell if the mirrors will work. I believe they are off of a 2016. Their part numbers are 68263849ad and 68231241ah.

Any help?

They will work. I would double check with your dealer that they can/will add the sales codes you are gonna need though. This might have changed since I installed my mirrors but they wouldn't flash them on the tradesmen or Express models

Older post, but instead of starting new thread... read up on all the power fold mirror threads and the AlfaOBD thread, I think lol.

I know the door switch is different depending on year, ie 2016/17 has different switch than earlier models due to the harness, but what about the mirrors and door modules themselves. I'm finding different part numbers for different years for mirrors, IE

68263849AD/68231241AF for 2016-2018 (Power Fold "premium" with auto dim/memory

68263849AB/68231241AB for 2015 (Power Fold "premium" with auto dim/memory)

Only difference is the last two letter designation, which typically just means later part numbers, but would the 2015's for instance work on a 2016?

Also I only find these part numbers for door modules which are for 2013/14, but can we assume they work across all 4th gen years, or 2016 to be specific...

Those door modules numbers look correct. (Confirmed it with a post from another forum)

I can tell you the alfaobd app is pretty simple once you get the hang out it. Some suggest to enable one thing and restart the process, but I did everything I needed at once, cycled the truck power (let it sit a few minutes) and everything worked.

I have the power mirror That I just walked out with the power towing mirrors… Everything works on mine except when you flip it up in the towing position that just meant for the mirror goes different direction from the arrows… Is there something like that I can do to change the direction of the Mirrors to go correctly with the buttons I push

AlfaOBD can correct that, the "tow mirrors present" setting needs to be set.

I’m totally dumb when it comes to the AlfaOBD stuff. What exactly do I need to do to get it done??

AlfaOBD is a OBD scanner/tool that allows you to make changes to your vehicle config. There is a Android version and a Windows version. So you need a Bluetooth OBD Plug, either an android device or windows laptop, and the appropriate version of AlfaABD. Check the First Post of the linked thread it goes over the needed items and what you can do with it.
