CIPA Mirror / Blown Fuse

[VMcelhose]

I have a 99 2500 that I just installed the CIPA mirrors from Geno's on. Every time I try to draw the mirrors inward, it blows the IOD fuse. Out, up and down work fine. They are powered and heated just like the original mirrors were. Any ideas? All help appreciated as I am out of ideas. Thanks to all.

I have an idea. I bought a set for my dad about a year ago and had them shipped to him. He installed them before I got there and everytime he would try to adjust them, they would blow a fuse. When I got there we took them back off, and I found that when he put them on he accidentally ran one of the mounting bolts thru the wires and was grounding itself. Spliced some new wire in and they work great. Check to see if it happens with both mirrors or just one. If it's only with one, pull that one back off and check it. Hope this helps. Mike
