Power mirror plug problem
The PO installed new power mirrors. While they bolted up and fit properly, they were from a different year Dakota that used a different plug. Take a look: The black plug I am holding is the harness in the door, the white plug above it is from the mirror. The door plug has 3 wires and the mirror plug has 5 wires. Can i cut the plugs off and splice? Which wires go to where? HELP!!

Good point Tom, they are heated mirrors! So IF I can figure out what wires go where I could get them to work. I'm sure the heat part has a positive and ground wire, so thats why there are 2 black wires. I SHOULD be able to splice the 2 grounds together and then splice the heater positive with the power positive?? In theory it should work, right?

yes, you have heater mirrors on a non-heater truck. IMO, I never use my heated mirrors. You living in the land of ice may want them.
