#1 of 13 2004 Expedition outside mirror swap by superq1957 Jan 22, 2006 (7:04 am)
I have a 2004 expedition and swapped out both outside mirror with the one with turn signals. The procedure was quite easy and they just pluged into the harnes. My question is, I went to turn on the turn signal and they won't work on either side of the outside mirror. Is there a step I left off, or something I forgit to do?

Replying to: superq1957 (Jan 22, 2006 7:04 am) Please let me know if you obtained a solution to this problem. I swapped the OEM mirrors on my 2003 Expedition XLT and floow the same steps. I was told by the delaerships that there is a eadditional wire for the turn signal. Unfortunately I purchased the mirrors on ebasy and cannot return them. So, the only alternative I have so far is to have either a aftermarket place to see if they could wire the turn signal. I requested a wiring schematic from the dealership but they gave me the run around. So, currently i'm driving with mirrors with no tuyrn signal. I was wondering if I could contact ford directly to obtain a wiring schematic?

Replying to: jpringle (Mar 09, 2007 5:49 pm) I have a 2003 Expedition XLT. I bought EB mirrors with the turn signals right away 4 years ago - put them on and the same thing happened - no turn signals either side. I recently decided to get them working. I have the Ford wiring diagram. Here's the deal. Ford did not run the additional wire on XLTs for the turn signals. Save money? A little less copper? You have to hard wire the the wires from the new mirrors to the wire bundle under the dash. There is an aftermarket mirror company that has instructions that are very similar: link title I got the drivers side working right away - first try I probed the correct wire - white/green. I ran a jumper wire through the flex rubber between the door and the door jam and spliced it into that wire. Works great. What I've been trying to find is the white with blue stripe that is supposed to be the left side wire - no luck. I've probed every wire under there. Does anyone know how to ID that wire or am I looking in the wrong place? thanks Replies to this message: backnine29 (May 20, 2007 8:21 am) buzzz1 (Jun 20, 2007 12:55 pm) cummings1 (Apr 24, 2006 4:49 pm) tidester (Apr 24, 2006 7:23 pm) j_jones (Jun 23, 2007 7:24 am) tidester (Jun 23, 2007 11:46 am) mschmal (Jun 25, 2007 10:45 am) jhesselbein (Jul 16, 2007 1:14 pm)
#5 of 13 Window Squeak by backnine29 May 20, 2007 (8:21 am)
Replying to: tabletalk (Apr 06, 2007 10:07 am) 2000 Expedition, EB XLT. 77,000 miles. My driver-side window has terrible squeak upon roll-up/roll-down. Any suggestions I might try at home before I take it in to a shop for servicing? BackNine29
#6 of 13 Squeeky Window by buzzz1 Jun 20, 2007 (12:55 pm)
Replying to: tabletalk (Apr 06, 2007 10:07 am) Mine had the same problem. I took the door panel off, and sprayed silicone lubricant on any and all moving parts of the window. It helped out 90%. Take off the panel then reconnect the window switch so you can listen to where the sound comes from, then lube that section.

#10 of 13 Folding Side mirrors on Jetta 2.5 '05 by j_jones Jun 23, 2007 (7:24 am)
Replying to: buzzz1 (Jun 20, 2007 12:55 pm) ok. I'm not sure if anyone else have noticed. I have a '05 Jetta 2.5. I have read the manual inside out and found all the features of the mirrors (self-dimming, heated outside mirrors). 3 days ago, I was at a soccer field waiting in my car for other players to show up while also on the phone. There were few guys kicking the ball around. All of a sudden, one of the guy kicked the ball over the goal post and the ball came at my car with 30-35mph or more and the ball hit my side mirror and i noticed immediately that the mirror bent. I thought it broke. When I stepped outside to check, i figured the mirror folds. So i went to the passenger side and slowly apply the force to fold that one too. I was surprised after driving my car for nearly 2 years. I thought I knew my car inside out with all d features. This discovery forced me to go back and read the manual again and nothing about folding mirror popped up in there. The thing now is, is there a button to auto fold this that I'm not aware of? or the VW engineers expect me to manually fold this mirrors everytime? If you have '05 -'07, please double check to see if you have folding outside mirrors. Please be very careful while trying this. Apply pressure gently and progressively otherwise, you might break the mirror. j-jones Replies to this message: tidester (Jun 23, 2007 11:46 am)
