Yes, we have..
The problem is, mirror heads are about 1000.00 per side, plus the door modules, plus the control switches etc .
I checked into it, and guesstimated it at about 3500.00 for parts and programming..

But if the motor is 12vdc and changes direction with reverse polarity. 2 new wires on the right pins of the 22 pin plug and a switch. Memory seats and mirrors would require a controler I agree.
But just power fold I think should be doable..
Aftermarket mirrors at 1AAuto are only 704 a pair.
I think pins 18 and 19 are for the power fold. The door module should send 12v to the motor I want to bypass the door module.

Default schematic

Is there any place I can get a schematic or a pinout of the mirror and door module?
If I can get 12vdc and reverse the polarity to that motor I think I can make it fold and unfold with a double pole double throw switch.

Correct,, pins 18-19 are fold motor control. You probably could scab in a manual momentary direction control switch. With the door module, one touch controls auto fold.

If you still need the connector pin out, let me know...

Thank you Hayapower.
What about power telescope, is that another motor? What pins are they on?
I am seriously considering buying the ones from 1AAuto and an 8 to 22 pin adapter harness from ebay just to see if they will fold.
then run 2 sets of wires from the dash to the door.
And there's a company in Atlanta that sells brass gears to replace the plastic ones.
Tanks again.
