My van does not have power mirrors

Beside the obvious part and a switch, would I need anything else ?

here's one on Ebay

item number 7987488751 = if the link doesnt work for you

looks like there are no other wires to hook up, except to the switch

anyone care to verify that ?

Where does the switch mount? Is there a blank on the dash or does it mount where the power window switches mount? I would pull the door panels off and see if the factory used a common harness. In other words, the power mirror connection may be taped up in the harness. If this is the case you could just plug your mirrors and switch in.

I see a spot on the door right above the power window switches

I'll have to take another pic ...

The factory probably just used a "blank off" panel that can be popped out. Hopefully the harness for the power mirrors is behind that door panel and is just taped off. Do you have a factory service manual for your van?

When Dodge Rams went from the chrome mirrors to that black plastic design, I seem to remember that quite a lot of the mirrors had loose parts that vibrated. Might want to double check the tightness of all connections before installing.

I myself have wondered if the mirrors off the PT Cruiser would bolt up in place of Van or pickup mirrors.
