Mirrors gotta go........Power conversion......????

I have the stock manual mirrors with the ajustment lever (through the door) into the cab style on my 2000 Taco. They are loose as hell and just plain suck. I see tons of Mirrors on ebay for this truck. I would "Like" to replace them with electric Power Mirrors. Has anyone done this yet? I found the stock power mirrors, and the switch for the door. The switch just snapps in the door, and the mirrors/switch have the factory plugs on them.

Sorry if there is already a post on this, I tried a search.....

 

I'm guessing all you need is power to go to the switch and it'll work if you have the assembly for everything.

Hell, there might already be a connector inside the door. Toyota might have just put the same wiring in all trucks then just kept it disconnected if the truck didn't have the feature. At least that would make it easy for you lol.

 

Same issue here, my passengers side is ok, but I find myself constantly readjusting the drivers side... Power mirrors should be standard on ALL vehicles.

 

Just bumping this thread back up. I'm ready to break down and buy a NEW set of manual mirrors. But, I'd rather get the power ones. Has anyone done this to there truck? I haven't removed my door panels yet to see if there is a plug for it. I guess I'll have to do that and "IF" there is a plug for the switch I'll just get the power mirrors. I've seen the switches for sale on ebay.

Any help?advice would be appreciated....

 

Ya, my drivers side is a pain in the ass too, always loosening up, have to adjust it all the friggin time.

 

Anybody know why its the drivers side? My 99 is the same way.

Im just thankful its not the passenger side, that would be more of a pain.....

 

if the wiring is there, im guessing all you do it take out the manual mirrors and bolt up and plug in the power mirrors.

and since power windows is a pretty popular option, i'd bet that toyota just put the wiring in there on all trucks.

 

if i can find a pair I can afford, im gonna do it on my 96..the 01-04 mirrors will bolt right up..I want power, dont care about the power part..once there adjusted, thats it. I just like the bigger style mirrors.

 

Hey head down to your local Toyota dealer and ask the parts guy to print out a wiring diagram for your year with and without power mirrors. Thats what I always do when I have a question about wiring problems, concerns, or mods.

 

I just bougth manual replacements. Both sides, shipped, for $50 bucks. I'll save my money for tires. A new set of power mirrors are about $140

 

Mine is the passenger side...
