Side mirrors

[jchop307]

Will expedtion mirrors work for a navigator? There is all kinds of options for the expeditions but very little for the navigators.

Sorry for the stupid question, but i wanted to make sure before i purchased and they were wrong.
Thanks in advance, guys

What year is yours, your tag line doesn't say. If the mirrors off the nav are about the same as yours, the mount should be the same, you may or may not have to swap pins or plugs from your mirrors to theirs. See if you can get owner of mirrors to send pictures and measurements of bolt holes, so you can measure against yours. Also make sure their returnable, you don't need shaving mirrors for your bathroom!

Sorry i should have been more specific I have a 1999 navigator, there are very few listed for them but all kinds of options for expedition and i thought they were the same but i just wanted to make sure first.

I think all exp/nav mirrors are bolt on, complete compatibility any year. Maybe someone else knows for sure. I've seen a first gen with second gen mirrors and I've seen a second gen with third gen mirrors. Not sure about the harnesses.

From what I've been reading lately, the biggest issue is the plugs. Some had heating, some with signal light built in. I would imagine a Lincoln would have all the bells and whistles. Is yours an Eddie Bauer like mine, or more of a base version? Again you'll need to see the plug or amount of wires. Push come to shove you could splice your plug up to the wires from the Lincoln mirror, omit the ones you don't need!

Yeah that's what I was afraid of, id hate to buy them and the connectors are wrong. Im sorry if i confused you but i have a lincoln and im wondering if the expedition mirrors will work on my navigator.

The heating element on the driverside quit and then this morning when i was trying to get the snow and ice off the cover broke off on the passenger side.
Thanks for your help, guys

Theirs a bunch of navigator mirrors on eBay now. Why mess around when you can get a bolt on/ plug up fit. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, navigators are a dime a dozen for first gens, should be plenty of parts, hell probably one of our members has one.

The wiring for a 99 expedition and 99 navigator power mirrors are exactly the same and the connectors are the same. Not sure if the connector from other years in the 1st gen exp/nav would match up without further checking at this point.

 

[Bedrck47]

Correction There is a difference in the connector wiring depending if the mirrors have signal function or are memory function

The connectors are the same physical size but the wiring is different

Prints shown are for the passenger side Drivers side would be similar

More information The 99 exp/nav uses a 10 pin connector
The 2000, 01, 02 expy/nav use a 12 pin connector

can I ask a really stupid question, how do I turn ON my heated mirrors. They "dont work" but I dont KNOW if I ever turned them on. Thanks.

I feel like the people asking how to turn on the fog lights.

It should be powered by the same switch as the rear window defogger, is that right guys?

Thanks alot just what i needed to know, mine have memory but as long as the new ones are heated and power is all that matters to me.

Thanks again for providing these diagrams
