Heated side view mirrors

[Drayk]

I've owned Rams for nearly 3 decades. My 2019 Big Horn (my 4th) came with power adjustable tow mirrors, but they're not heated. It's not something you really think about until you need them. Anyway, I can't get my dealer to commit either way to confirm if the wiring is there or not. I have a hard time believing Ram wouldn't pre-wired for them.
Anybody have thoughts on this or know what it would take to add heated, and possibly folding tow mirrors?

I would have to think that IF your OEM TOW Mirrors have all the normal tilt motors for the mirrors glass & signal light & courtesy light to see your Footing, called Puddle Lights

That the truck would be wired for heat,
At Least to the Door Module

The Door Module is behind the Inside Door Panel

I do not have a image of the Tow Mirrors.
This is the image of regular mirrors


notice the notation of
Pins for Heated Mirrors

Those wires, in fact all of the wires in the image, come directly from the door module

Thanks so much, man!! So, if I Yank the mirror out of the assembly & see those 2 little wires/plugs, I'm wired for headed mirrors? I'll just need to get heated tow mirrors & possibly a software update?

I don't know if it is that simple.

The side mirrors, no matter which ones, regular or Tow , heated or non heated, comes with its own wiring Harness.

That wiring harness plugs into the Door Module

The Door Modules wiring harness, which is likely called a wiring pigtail, passes through the door, then into the trucks cab.

I believe that in the Cab, where you would rest your Left Foot, that Kick panel hides an Electrical Connector, i think the wires there, pass through trucks Firewall.

So IF my assumptions are correct, you would need to find a Wiring Diagram, that explains just what wires are by your Left Foot, behind that Kick Panel

I am assuming ...
That your Ram is a Ram 1500 5th Generation
