Default Power mirror relocation?

Does anyone know if there is a relocation kit that will allow me to keep my power mirrors. Or If it is even possible to keep them?

I don't think it's possible because the disconnection point is right in the middle of the doors (you have to remove the door panel). I unplugged mine and running the Rugged Ridge round mirrors so if I want to take the doors off I don't have to fuss with the mirrors. They don't come with filler plates for the holes in the doors so you will have to find those..wp makes them and so does RR. But the RR ones is a kit with mirrors and I heard the mirrors it comes with suck and can't see off the passenger side.

Caution if you are going to unplug, if you wish to put them back on, you will have to fish the wires.

There's a couple of threads here regarding cutting and splicing, I personally did not want to do any of that so I'll deal with fishing when I decide to put the stock mirrors back on.

I don't know of any. I would leave the factory doors alone and buy a replacement of somekind to work with the doors off. I want to say that I have seen a cool idea on this forum a guy did. I think he took one of those wide angle mirrors that you put on your factory mirror, placed it on the dash someplace and used that. Cheap fix.

Problem with replacement mirrors is you have to take them on and off when you take the doors off and back on. If you remove the stock ones you can run any aftermarket mirrors full time without having to switch it back and forth. As far as the wide angle ones in cab, most states require actual side mirrors to be street legal.

To previous post... Yes they might both be ground... One for heat, other to move the mirrors... But I'm not an expert nor did I stay at Holiday Inn :(
