Default putting power/heated on truck w/o

Well my truck doesn't have power or heated mirrors, but when I had the door panels loose when painting the non p/h mirrors I saw what looked like connectors in the door for power mirrors and I imagine behind the temp and vent selector might be a wire for heat? Or am I mistaken on what I saw in the doors? Any help would be appreciated since I have my old heated/power tow mirrors off my old truck and if I could would like to put them on this truck I have now

everythings there, you just need to get a heated temp and vent selector, or rig something up. same with the door panel joystick.

Any good places to get those parts from? Or are they pretty much dealer only items?

I went to our local U-Pull It salvage yard, got the heater control for 22.00. My truck had no power anything so I had to make the side to side wire harness to interconnect. I also converted manual windows to power, the power regulators bolt right in the doors, easy swap. I would get the wiring diagram if you don't have existing wires. Many repair shops have the Mitchell repair programs that have the wiring diagrams. Very nice to plow this year with powered items!

Sorry guys forgot to keep you posted, got his pristine dash bezel, newer heater And blower selector and joy stick all for 100. Took the bezel out and put in the different blower control in all wires there. Then popped off the door panel and the plastic plug popped out. Wiring for the joystick was right inside the door frame. Plugged it in and put on mirrors And everything works great!

Good deal! I thunk SLT trucks have the wires in place so much easier, is it not much nicer to be able to adjust the mirrors with the joy stick? It was a pain to readjust from towing to down mode.
