Power side mirrors?

[stephfung]

Hi TM3! My first post!! anyways I just bought my first car 2006 mazda 3 white hatchback (yaay!) and was wondering if anyone knows how to install power side mirrors? mine only came with manual mirrors but everything else is powered, so strange.
either where to buy parts? and how to do it? or somewhere that could install them and around how much would it be??

any help would be nice thanks!!

It should've come with power mirrors. If you have the buttons on the driver side door then it previously came with it. Maybe the previous owner broke them and cheap out and got manual mirrors instead?

oh yea it is GS trim, do you know if there's any way to add any? it's just a hassle to change them manually everytime because i share the car with my bf. i've looked around forums and couldn't find anything.

Wiring is probably on the car already. You will need both mirror assemblies plus the drivers side door switches and panel. If the wiring is there, shouldn't take more than half an hour to 45 minutes to swap them out.

the door wiring won't be there for sure... they are different for cars with no power anything.. the dash harness is a toss up

He did day powered-everything except for the mirrors... which I took to mean his car has powered windows...

Since the sail panels are so easy to pull off it would probably worth the effort to take them off and see if the connector is there. Although it may be present and tie-wrapped further down side the door.
