Power Tow Mirrors

[WMcGuire]

Got a little problem, everytime I fold the mirrors in to put the cover on the truck it blows the fuse, it's done that since new, anyone else have the same problem?

That is weird. You must have a short, probably caused by a chaffed wire either for the mirror movement or the heater element. You'll have to take it apart and rewire it (or let the dealer do it if it's under warranty).

That is the first time I have heard about that. Let us know what you find out.

my o4 did that but it was more intermittent, like every so often it would pop the fuse. The dealer replaced the fuse, I think beyond that I think they might have be over their heads. after I put the brake controler and the exhaust brake in(same time) the problem never showed up again, that was 9000 miles ago. maybe the problem is in the same place on the harness up by the contector for the controler and that is where I went through the fire wall for the brake.

If the problem is there all the time it would be easy to find, but intermittent problems are not easy to diagnose.
good luck
