The OEM door harness add-on is no joke. No wonder its so pricey. Whole damn thing!

Ok so my Ranger is a 21, I have that gray wire. Can i test it with a test light and turn the defrost on and off? sorry for all the question but i'm not the best when i comes to electrical.

All done everything works no smoke lol. Took me 5 hours to install and 2 hours earlier in the week to make the harness's. broke a couple clips on the interior. now i have my heated mirrors just in time for summer lol. Thanks to Mike for the write up.

That's why I went with a fog-free shower mirror on my XL:

Glad you were able to get it all hooked up!

I was wondering with these SUMA mirrors with my '21 Tremor 301a

Even though I could purchase the appropriate glass I would still probably need to run that 2 wire solution to the fuse for the rear window defroster I'd assume?

Look at the wiring on the mirror here. Tremors are a premium model and with 301a I think they have the defroster connection so you'd be good. It would be worth checking. This guy was doing things to his:
