I think there is a How-To on one of the Ranger Site.
Oh...my bad. I thought you were removing cab glass. 

I THINK the side view mirror glass snaps in but I've only partially removed the locking clips by accidentally pressing too hard while adjusting, so I've never seen what actually hold it in place. 

couldnt find any helpful videos...

 Tell me about it !  I'm not sure how it is held in place, I was hoping an adhesive with some device to center the mirror.
I can't find much on it, maybe it will be easier putting new glass in vs taking it out.

 Scrambler, are you replacing JUST the glass or the glass and backing assembly?  I am assuming '06-'11 mirrors?

Ranger / Explorer Installation

I have '06 Powered Mirrors, purchased my Directional Mirror Glass from Muth, forgot about their How-To Section.

Thanks for the link.

While I am waiting for the new Woofer to get here, it is backordered, I will attempt to do the "06 Mirror swap.  Will have let the wiring hang under the door panel for now until I get ready for the Power Window Swap.

 Are you connecting the heating grid also? That's a nice option.

 Scrambler82, when I installed the 06 power mirrors in my 2000 Ranger I went to a JY & found a Ranger close to the year of mine & cut the harness near the power mirror & unpluged the mirror wiring at the connection of the door harness. I took the part of the harness that was cut from the the power mirror wiring & spliced it into the 06 power mirrors & then just plugged in the other end into my door harness. That way if I ever need to replace a mirror all I have to do is unplug the mirror & rewire the mirror part of the harness to the new mirror, & I can do it on my work bench instead of in the door. I did it that way because the plug on the 06 mirrors is at the mirror, & on the 2000 is was at the door harness. I hope that makes sense.

Yes, but my Mirror Glass are from Muth, with Directionals and Heat, but I don't think the heat will be of any use here.

Mike,
Not sure what I am going to do.
I have '06 Mirrors with powered if I remember I have a harness but I will need to dig them out from the Storage Bucket.
But my truck is an EDGE and I don't even know if I have a door harness.

If I don't have the '06 OEM Harness for the mirrors, I will have to locate that too.
I do have two full power Doors from an '02  Extended Cab and I am going to try and use as much of that as possible and it sounds like I will need to add the Door side of the '06 Mirror Harness.

Thanks
Ltr

 Pulled out the '06 Mirrors... didn't know if the guy I purchased them from owned an '06 Ranger or if he had already modified the Mirrors for an '03 Bolt-up.
To my surprise the Mirrors have already been mod'd, so I have a bolt in setup now, that will make it easier, now I need to do my mods to the mirrors.
Change the Mirror Glass, adding LEDs on the front lower edge of the mirrors, a combined running light and a brighter directional lights, I think they call the lights "Switchbacks".
Still would like to get a separate Convex Mirror to attach to the bottom of these housings...  not sure what's out there, anyone have any ideas other than the little round stick on type.

Wiring should be interesting, Mike what wires did you connect between the '06 Mirror Connector and your Trucks Mirror Switch on the Drivers Door.
I have two full powered door to pull parts from, but my truck does not have powered windows, mirrors, or locks... yet !

I have decided to put tape all over the existing Mirror Glass, the snap it with a small hammer.
Not sure if this is the best idea but I have tried to pop the glass out without success.

Anyone have a better idea ?

As far as the wiring for the power mirrors my Ranger already had power mirrors, I made an extension harness from power mirrors on a Ranger in the JY. The 06 mirrors have a short harness plug right by the mirror, the old small style mirrors that were on my Ranger had a longer harness that plugged into the door harness. My old mirrors from my 2000 Ranger were like the ones in the attached link.

What I did was mod & install the mirrors then kept testing the wires until I got the up, down, left, & right functions to match the switch positions.

 Guitar string? Top E like .008 you can get them down to .007 I have .009/.01 laying around. Very handy. I have seen windshields removed with them, never tried a mirror.

I have bought 2 aftermarket mirrors, one for a Ranger and one for a dodge. Both of them shook like crazy while driving I never thought just replace the mirror element. I would try guitar string, 2 vise grips and a heat gun.

 Mike69,
Thanks the only one that pulled on the interest string is the S/S 4" x 8 1/4"... if I can figure out how to mount them so it doesn't look to screwed up they might work.
They are big enough to get the job done !


Did you happen to write down the wire colors ?

I have the new wiring going in, just wasn't planning on it right now, but I want the mirrors changed.

You are welcome. IIRC I probably did write it down when I was doing it but if I even saved it after I was done I do not remember. I probably tossed ther paper I wrote it on once I was done. When are you planning on changing the mirrors?.

 I let my son drive mine yesterday as part of his training. I was with him. The kid is a natural driver and has already expressed interest in 4 wheeling.

I do the write down throw away too, without thinking that is !
I do have a file with a lot os stuff in it, most not worth anything any more !
If you happen to come across the wiring paper, I would appreciate any info you can give me, I think I have a schematics for the Powered Door but I will have to check it out.   

The Mirror Install, was going to be yesterday, got wet and cold out here so I didn't get to the barn, but I was thinking, smell the smoke !

Can the Powered Mirrors be moved by hand while I am in the audio and electric door conversion mode ?

I don't want to screw up the Mirror Motors... not that I even know for sure they work, but I will need to move them around some.  I got them off of the other Ranger Site from a Member that I think is a good guy, so I believe they work, I have never tested them and would have to get the schematics out to do it right.

Wow, things are a changing now !
My daughter didn't want me to teach her to drive, missed out on that experience, I wanted to tech her a manual shift in the Ranger but she didn't see the sense in  5 speed.   All here vehicles, her latest is a BIG Chebby, actually a 1500 but fouett©'s door and the model is the high Country... actually a nice truck.
I'll be too old to teach the grand anything more than driving around the fields, that could help.

 I will look around & see if I still have the wiring diagram I made for the mirror swap. I do not believe that you would damage the power mirrors by moving them a few times manually.

@Jim: do you plan to pass one of your Rangers over to him when he gets licensed?
Yep he gets the ex cab if I can ever afford to tear the motor down to see if I need head gaskets or heads.

I will look around & see if I still have the wiring diagram I made for the mirror swap. I do not believe that you would damage the power mirrors by moving them a few times manually.
Tha t would be great !

Do you remember if the wire colors are the same ?

I looked for the '06 Mirror Harness, I would have thought, $10, Ford's $18+, there are two others $26+, x2... !

Anyone have any extra harnesses for the '06 Mirrors, just the Connectors and at least 6" of harness, thanks !

OK thanks.

I THINK, the mirrors I have are OEM... I have never trying to find a Ford label, will have to do that.

As you said, try one wire then the next.
Thx

Correct, I just kept trying the wires until the movement of the mirror matched which way I was moving the switch. BTW I looked for the wiring diagram I wrote down & could not find it.

 I didn't do anything to the Ranger, but I did pull the motor from the Jeep, it might go in the Ranger.
I will have an NV4500/Chebby for sale soon.

 I know I'll catch hell for this but here it goes: I just got my truck back up and running yesterday after sitting for 3 years. It's had gas in the tank the whole time and it's something I didn't think about until I got it back running. Should I go ahead and siphon it out and put fresh gas in it along with changing the fuel filter? I know the filter will be a must.
