I currently do not have tow mirrors but I am looking at upgrading to them. I found a set with power fold, my question is if I change the switch inside the truck is all I have to do is have the dealer flash the truck? I’ve heard to have the turn signals to work I have to have it flashed.

You'll need to change both door modules as well for power fold. You can enable it with alfa OBD if you have it or know someone. If you don't have it,it will probably cost what the dealer will charge you and you can enable other things later with it.

By door module’s your talking about the window controls? Or is there another item?

In addition to the switch, each door has a module. They need to be replaced with the correct ones if you want to enable power fold. There's an Alfa OBD thread that describes it. Forget if it's here or somewhere else.

Okay. Thank you.
Another thing to note is the dealer can enable the LEB and LEC codes which are the blinker/puddle lights and they can enable the option for the mirrors to adjust correctly when they are opened. I don't remember off the top of my head what code that is. The problem is in many cases the dealer cannot enable the LER (power fold) code depending on your trucks trim level and options. The selection will grayed out on their screen. If your truck is a high trim level it may be allowed but there would be no way to tell until they connected to your truck. The good news is the Alfa tool can enable all the codes with no issues if the dealer cannot. Many people have the tool and there may be someone near you willing to do it. If you decide to go that way you may want to reach out on the Alfa thread to see who is near you who might be willing to do it.

Glad you chimed in Rick! Wasn't sure if I was forgetting anything!
