Intro and 98 Ford Explorer Question

[zboarman]

I'm a current college student in Western Kentucky and this past Friday I had my passenger side mirror damaged by hitting a mail box.

Only issue is figuring out what type of mirror it is. I do know the mirror is powered but that's about it. Upon looking at the mirror there are two black wires together coming out of the door and two pairs of a yellowish/blue-green wire going to the bottom and the other to the top for a total of six wires it looks like coming from where the mirror folds in at.

My local Ford dealer is closed today else I would have called them and asked.
But there isn't any symbol or text saying heated if that helps.

I think they should be basicly the same unless you have the puddle lamp on the bottom of it. The harness was different between the ones that had it vs the ones that dont have it.

those are the power mirror wires,, they control the adjustments ,

it's a harness that goes into the door, and over to the adjustment knob on the drivers door,
look at the drivers side, if it is a heated set it will say on it, but i doubt it is,

Doesn't say heated on the driver side and don't see a puddle light so should this mirror work? http://www.automirrorsexpress.com/ford/explorer/all.html?year=1998#MzkzMjc

The thing that caught me was it saying 5-wire which is why I counted the wires I have now.
