Electrically Folding Mirrors
There are some misunderstandings about the operation of RPO DL3 mirrors on 2003 full size pickups and utilities (fig 12) .
The mirrors in this option can be folded inboard electrically (when entering a car wash, or parking in a confined space, for instance) using the same switches normally used for adjusting the individual mirrors. Place the L/R toggle switch in neutral. Then use the pad to fold the mirrors in or out.
These mirrors must always be moved electrically. If a mirror is folded inward manually, and then moved back outboard manually, the mirror will not latch into the detent.
The result is that the mirror may move and/or shake.
TIP: If the mirror displays these conditions, simply cycle the mirror inboard and back outboard using the electric controls. This will cause the mirrors to click into the proper detents.
New vehicle prep technicians should be made aware of these procedures and should verify proper operation of the mirrors before delivery.
