Default kool-vue towing mirrors HELP!!

well., i got my towing mirrors today, got them all wired up, and installed.

went to adjust them, and my iod fuse blows, so i replaced it.... same thing. my passenger side mirror wont angle up, and if it turn my switch to swap it to the drivers mirror it will activate downward movement on the passenger mirror.

id like to figure this out ASAP! is there something wrong with the mirror, or did i not install them correctly?

its driving me nuts, i called discount auto mirrors, and they apparently outsource on the weekends, because both women i spoke to could barely speak english.........

Same experience here. They were great to deal with and the mirrors are nice quality too.

So, if it's listed as "operation- manual" or "manual folding" does this mean that they aren't power, or that they just aren't power folding? I'm a tad confused here.

It's a huge price difference between power/heated regular OE replacements and the trailer mirrors with no heat and no power adjustment.

they are all manual folding. the power function is to adjust the mirror only just like on regular mirrors.

And these late-model trailer mirrors will plug-n-play with the factory harness on our trucks?
