    That's alright. You seem new to the site, so I don't blame you.

    In any future circumstance, the search function at the top right is always helpful.

    I had a douchebag in an Altima run over a decent sized rock and shot it into my driver's side mirror.

    I ended up getting one before @c_walters offered his to me. Try reaching out to them to see if it's been claimed yet.

    Thanks. Lost mine to a bird strike. It took out the glass too, but that was easy to find a replacement for.

    Little of this, little of that.
    I finally got around to installing my puddle switch. The OFF and AUTO work but ON isn’t working. Anyone know why that might be happening?

    EDIT: It was a bad ground. Moved it over to a proper ground and everything works perfectly! Thanks for the help guys.

    Funny I just thought about that.. where I put the ground is likely not great. Do you have a spot you recommend I ground to?

    I have finally installed the V2 Puddle Pods and wired up the V5 Switchbacks. The puddle pods, along with the switch, works great; on-auto works as intended.

    However, the power mirrors (driver and passenger) aren't working. The power windows and power door locks works though. I checked the 7.5A ECU-ACC fuse in the interior box, and it didn't trip. Please send any advice that could help with the issue!

    I'm trying to avoid a dealer visit; especially if they have grounds to deny the warranty.

    How/did you tap into the 7.5A ECU-ACC (Wire to remote control mirrors)?

    Sorry if I misunderstand your question, but I did not tap into the 7.5A ECU-ACC fuse. I only have used the supplied harness by MESO, and I believe it taps into Dome, Ignition, and Illumination.

    I did some quick checks to see if it was a fuse problem, and I've read that the power mirrors are connected into the 7.5A ECU-ACC fuse.

    Yes I did! I tried to find the bolt you had a picture of but my truck looked different for some reason. I ended up finding a good ground after dropping the whole panel below the steering wheel. It’s a ground point for something else on the bottom left of the steering wheel. Thanks for the help!

    Pop off that section of the door and verify the 10-pin connector is seated properly.

    Are you referring to this connector?
