Junkyard auto dimming mirror
So, I found a 2002 Dodge Ram, with an auto dimming rear view. Couple of questions:
1. Will it fit my 2006 Dodge Ram
2. How hard will it be to install? Just plug in or will I need to cut wires? I do have the overhead console.
Thanks!

itll plug into your mirror, but you will have to splice it in the overhead counsel. Its probably a 3 wire set up. 1 power, 1 ground, and 1 neutral/reverse saftey. (could be wrong)
depending on how many wires you have we can help you splice it in.

^^^ Yeah, I was wanting to know if he got the harness that went with the mirror.
And yes 2001Ram, you will need to splice it in as huseman808 said.
If you dont have the harness, get it and then tell me how many wires it has so i can try to find some wiring schematics on it and tell you where they go.

Weed,
I think there is only 2 wires, the dimming feature is totally self contained in the mirror (small sensor on the front)

to the rear view mirror.
I'll take a look at mine and see
Weed,
I stand corrected----it is 3 wire, looks like blk, grn or gry, and wht/r (?) I didn't have my glasses it powers up with the ignition.
