Do I need to splice into my existing wiring harness?

The mirror mounts at factory connection points, so your vehicle's existing power mirror wiring plugs directly into this unit. No rewiring or splicing required.

Should I paint this before installation?

It arrives primed, so you can install and paint later, or paint first if you prefer. Either way works — just make sure any paint is fully cured before wiring it in and operating the motor.

What if the motor doesn't work after I install it?

Test the power connection at your vehicle's switch before finalizing mounting. If power reaches the mirror and the motor still doesn't respond, contact support for motor diagnostics or replacement options.
