Hi all, I'm having trouble upgrading to power folding mirrors and was hoping for some suggestions. Truck is 2014 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7. The truck did not come stock with PFM's so I upgraded the door modules to 68225100AD and 6825101AD. The mirrors I bought were from Top Gear because I'm really partial to the blind spot mirror being under the main mirrors as opposed to outside. Top Gear is labeled as being a plug and play for vehicles that already have PFM's so I figured going through the upgrade these would work (Dodge Ram 1500 2009-2018 Power Fold Tow Mirrors LED Lights). I also upgraded the switch to Standard Motor Products DWS1706 which is supposed to be fully compatible with OEM. I'm using OBDLink MX+ to connect to the truck's computer and using current version of AlphaOBD which is able to interface with the truck. I don't have an andriod phone so I'm using my windows computer to work with AlphaOBD. Through Alpha I'm able to connect, choose My2014 PowerNet for the Body Computer, then I choose Driver Door as the Alpha Function, My>2012 PowerNet, then to Active Diagnostics and navigate to Power Folding Mirror option, select Enabled, start procedure. Alpha tells me currently PFM's are disabled do I want to start, I select Start and it immediately says procedure complete. Try the PFM's and nothing. If I go back to restart the procedure Alpha again tells me the option is disabled. It's like the truck isn't accepting the procedure Alpha is trying to complete. Fortunately, when I replaced the mirrors I noticed that the structural supports for tow mirrors were already in place - was thinking that was a good sign that power folding tow mirrors were an option on this year Big Horn. Thanks in advance for any advise you may have.
