DL3 Mirror Questions

[rodwar254]

I know alot of people has done the swap...I just complete mine this afternoon (thanks jacob for the mirrors)...everything working but the powerfold...

so couple of questions:

1. does it matter if i got the master and passenger switches from a 08 esky?
2. the dealership said they can TRY to reprogram the BCM either way if it works or dont work i have to pay $110, is this a reasonable price?
3. what other things should I attempt?

any help is welcome

Thanks
Rodney...

The escalade switches should work fine. I have the master switch from an escalade in mine and powerfold works. I just switched the light board from the stock switch into the escalade switch so that the lighting matched, since the escalade switch has a white light.

did your truck come with powerfold and /or did you have to get it programmed by the dealership?

thanks for the quick reply

My truck did not come with power folding mirrors. The dealership had to program it to make the power fold work. Now i have power fold, turn signals and puddle lights operational.

I didn't have to get anything programmed with my SLE. I also swapped the master switch off an escalade. And everything worked, turn signals, puddle lights and power fold.

Lucky man lol...did you do anything special with it or what did the mirrors come off of...

If you got esky switches pass and drivers side, then thats all you need. All features will work. The program is in the switches themselves. If you dont have switches dont bother going to the dealer. I spent a few hundred trying to get it done. If your truck didnt come with the Dl3 option, your truck cannot be programmed for it. The only remedy if to install it into someone who has the Dl3 option and have them go to the dealer to have it programmed to their truck then give it back to you.

Either that or both dealers that i used are completly retarded

so the BCM is in the switches? just asking because i dont know much about the BCM just hear about it when dealing with these mirrors...I have all four switchers from the escalade....the mirrors i think off of a silverado...my truck didnt come with the DL3 option...
