Stock Rear View Mirror - 1997 XLT

[Jake's Dad]

I bought my truck used, and it never had the original rear view mirror. I used to have a '96 XLT 5.0, and I loved the mirror. It had auto-dim and controls for timing the front lights.

Where can I find a replacement? Also, do I need the complete chord with it? Someone cut the chord and it is hanging out of the trim.

Myabe a junk yard?

Thanks for your comments.

I did that mod a year ago in my Eddie Bauer. Get a mirror from the junk yard, be sure to get the little black panel that conceals the wiring too. Go to this thread for more instructions for installation:

Found one at a junk yard. Got the mirror and the wire harness for $25. Got it installed for $45.

Thanks for the help!
