ive read so many threads that now I’m just confused. I have a 2018 2500 with tow mirrors, I would really like them to power fold. I see a lot of info on the chrome non tow mirrors but I’m looking for plain old black and tow. My current mirrors are tow, puddle/signal and heated.

What are the options out there for heated powerfold in black with puddle/turns. Will I need to change door modules or just use Alfa?

The only thing I’ve been able to find are the trail ridge and I’m not sure if those are nice or oem equivalent in quality.

I have the door switch with the powerfold button that was in my door panels when I upgraded.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sir!

I’m not sure about oem but if you go the route of the Trail ridge mirrors which a lot of people say are good mirrors look at the post below. Trail ridge sells 2 power fold tow mirrors for our truck. One you can only direct wire to a switch and the other will work with the factory switch.


Trail ridge 43 work like oem. Trail ridge 68 have to be wired directly to a independent switch

Also your best best would be to take your door panels off and get the PN off both door modules and post here or do your own research to confirm exactly what features they support.

Also you might need a mater switch swap because your current driver side window/lock switch does not have the power fold button. You will need to pull the switch out of the door to see what door switch you need. It’s either a 2 harness switch or a 1 harness switch.

Looking at your door switch if it looks like below you already have it. If it’s missing the button in between the mirror selection you don’t have the correct switch

I’ll get the part numbers on the door modules, if I ever get my truck back from the dealer. I PM’ed MPGrimm to see if he sells a harness. I already have the door switch.

Thank you for the part numbers on those mirrors, that’s what I was looking for!

If you buy the 43 it plugs in like factory and works just like factory. Works as oem no harness needed.

If you get 68s you have to add your own push button or rocker switch. You will have to wire power to the switch to control the fold.

I do not have power fold now, so it’s my understanding I need new door modules. The current door switch has only 1 connector, the new switch has 2. Wonder if anyone can give me part numbers for the correct door modules.

Reposting this here from PM with @CincyCuda68 for others if needed and also to roll up some of my notes I have gathered ...

If you have a 4 door truck (& 2 door?) the modules will be... 68225102AC and 68225103AC for 2013-18 & 19 classic. I believe the door switch would be 56046826AE (single connector) and started in 2016-18 & 19 classic.

Earlier trucks may (like the 13 crew I had) have the dual connector 4dr switch... 68110867AB on 2013 to 15 I believe?

And my notes about 13-18 mirrors ...

Regular mirrors ....
Pwr Fold, Heated, AutoDim w/o color, w/puddle/signal:
(R) Pass Mirror: 68231240AD
(L) Drvr Mirror: 68231241AI
.... Alt/superceded: 68338373AE (Ricks Ram)

Pwr Fold, Heated, AutoDim, Chrome, w/puddle/signal, w/MEMORY:
(R) Pass Mirror: 68231242AA
(L) Drvr Mirror: 68231243AA


-------------------------------------------
Tow Mirrors ....

Pwr Fold, Heated, AutoDim w/o color, w/puddle/signal & MEMORY (features not confirmed):
(R) Pass Mirror: 68412884AA
(L) Drvr Mirror: 68412885AA

Pwr Fold, Heated, AutoDim w/o color, w/puddle/signal (features not confirmed):
(R) Pass Mirror: 68412880AA

Unfortunately I do not know the part number for the Regular Cab power fold switch, I did not have to change it. While I have a 2017 2500, my Ram came from the factory with power fold mirrors. In fact my stock mirrors had every option you can get in mirrors EXCEPT for MEMORY. Which is why I went ahead and bought new Laramie mirrors ( the infamous chrome capped ones), simply to get the memory function. Although I can confirm that my driver's door control switch panel has only ONE electrical plug connection.

Both my ORIGINAL mirrors that came on the truck and the Laramie chrome capped replacements were NON tow mirrors. I sold the original OEM ones but as luck would have it I took pics when I put them up for sale. The pics show the part number stickers:

431068[/ATTACH]']lVQDYIkl.jpg

I have to look for the paper work for the part numbers on the Laramie NON tow mirrors and post the info later when I find it.

Thanks Mike. Looks the regular power fold/no color/no memory Pass Mirror got a new PN for your factory 2017 and 68263849 is apparently a pergola passenger side mirror w/o the AutoDim feature!

Keep in mind my OEM mirrors were also heated and auto dim as well, but like you said they were non-painted, textured black plastic.

Well I found a 2dr power fold driver door switch PN that is supposedly for 13-16 trucks on one site but goes to 2017 on another.
Just need someone 'cough' to verify if it's the same on a 17 & 18 2dr truck.

2dr Driver's Door Switch for 2013-15 (to 2018 apparently) ? :
68148895AB (dual connector)

I have a 2019 1500 Sport. I can get my truck into my garage but I need to push in the mirrors to do so. I thought about replacing the mirrors to make them power, but I bought a cane at Walmart for $12 and now I can pull in the passenger mirror without getting out of the truck. Has a foam rubber grip so it does not scratch the mirror.
