I'm not sure if the motors are serviceable independent of the mirrors, or maybe it's not a concern.

just my 2 cents

Then we are going to have a problem. I ALWAYS fold my mirrors in when I leave the Truck. At home in the garage, at the store you name it. But in my case I do not want them to go in automatically. I park to close to the wall in the garage....and no, i don't want to stay further away...lol

Wow is right considering the price for the option on my truck was less than 150 bucks. A parts dept guy told me it would cost around $1500.00 to replace one if I were to knock it off. I'm gonna try real hard not to knock one off.

As I've already stated there is a source of power everything '08 mirrors which are taken off new trucks for $450 a pair but they have the end connectors cut off and may have a minor scratch or two. (the ones my friends and I received were mint condition).

Might be a problem if they were automatic, thats if for some reason you turned the key on and off a couple times in a row, do this start your truck fold mirrors in and out a couple times in a row, you will see what happens!!!
