Did the power folding mirror with turn signal upgrade on my 19 1500 classic, from factory I can auto roll up front windows with one touch after the upgrade it won't do it any idea?

There's a reprogramming procedure for the Auto up by pressing up/down button a certain way in the middle of the first post.

Will be adding this to the OP....

Fully lighted power fold 4dr button switch from Jeep Overland (vs Ram version) thanks to @Killerb ...

Baffling how FCA thought a Jeep or Durango should have a lighted switch and Ram owners are left in the dark.. My Jeep overland is illuminated so I went ahead and purchased a switch, plug and play.

Yes has the power folding button [corrected PN]
Part # 68319803AA 15-19 Jeep grand Cherokee. Swapped this in my 18 Ram, plug and play.

Since my truck is a 2014 I've got two connectors for the Master Switch instead of one like the later version master switches have. I wonder if a Master Switch out of a 14 or 15 Jeep Grand Cherokee would have the two connectors and whether or not the full switch would be illuminated? Maybe something to look into. The mirror buttons not illuminating has always bugged me a little.

Same here.
On the single connector switch, I see there is an unbranded Chinese Copy on eBay for about $37 vs $100 for Mopar branded... Tempted.

If you ID an earlier PN that works, let me know and I'll add it here.

Ah well, another $60 on truck stuff. Found a new OEM lighted switch on Ebay. Fumbling in the dark for the window and mirror buttons is annoying.

Those look like the Chinese copies. The OEM ones have a white or natural nylon colored back and the copies have a black back. My preference was for an OEM one.

I've looked at can't find a Jeep Grand Cherokee Master Switch with the two connector setup like the earlier 4th Gen Ram trucks. I'm thinking the newer Grand Cherokee's have all had the single connector switch.

Thank you @Mpgrimm2 for taking the time to put the programming notes in a nice easy place to find and with perfect simple directions. So happy to not have to get out and manually fold my mirrors in NY weather and way cheaper that re-framing the garage for a larger door.

Very nice! I wish we could get the lighted mirror adjustment type master switch for the trucks with the single connector. I guess we could run the dual connector style if we changed the drivers door harness but that seems like a long way to go to get a lighted mirror adjust.

Any other FCA brands with 2dr and pwr fold mirror options? ie. Jeep Wranglers are available in 2dr and 4dr... Was it an option? I don't think Challengers had em.
