SandBox_Kid Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I purchased these mirrors from painterjoe....Click me....and am trying to get them installed. I am having trouble getting the door panels off on my '05 2500hd. I found a couple of screws but it doesn't want to come apart near the controls..........any done this before?

dunefreak Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Try sliding the door panel up. I am pretty sure there are hooks on the panel that attach it to the door (it's been a while since I've done any non-mechanical type work ). Don't try prying the panel off either, you'll break em.

sanddunesaddict Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 You sure you have to remove the whole panel. Ive done some of these and I remember only taking off the corner piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painterjoe Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 The lock switch pops off and the bezel around the handle will come off but dosen't have to. Dunefreak is right they have to slide up. Any more questions call me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to go look, but I don't think the newer model trucks have that corner piece that pulls out seperate from the rest of the door panel like the 88-98 C/K trucks.

Yes...they have the corners that come off....but that doesn't get you to the hook ups at the switch. It looks like you should take the whole panel off in order to run the wire harness' properly.

It looks like you should take the whole panel off in order to run the wire harness' properly. if you are talking about the window switches...they are not "popped on" like previous models. they are fastened from the inside with screws, i thinks. if you pry the switch panel, it will break and won't fit tight. pull the door panel and disconect harness connectors while holding the panel.

B) The switch panel pops off in the rear and screws off in the front. I can't seem to get the panel off around the actual locking mechanism. I have tried to pull the panel upwards, but it won't budge and I don't want to break anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandBox_Kid Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 It was the screw behind the manual locking mechanism.

SandBox_Kid Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 hey, I tried It ain't over yet.....everything except the telescoping feature works. The blinkers and electric adjusters are working fine...they just don't wanna extend. Could my Diablosport tune have anything to do with it? Or, does the 2005 actually need to be reprogrammed also? I'm going to go back to the stock tune and see if it helps....either way it won't hurt especially if I have to get reprogrammed. Why can't I just hook my laptop up and do it? j/k Anyone? Call me if you have any clues........ Gotta make Dumont tomorrow....and mirrors are a show stopper now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddunesaddict Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 You have to reprogram the drivers door module for camper mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the mirror adjuster swith in the center position and puch the left button of the mirror adjust button. That should extend them out. Your Diablosport tuner has nothing to do with it. If it still doesn't work you may need to have the driver door module reprogrammed. Come on down, we'll take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
