Thanks to you I’ve just fixed my issue with those tow mirrrors, even tho I couldn’t put it exactly in place and now outside temperature is -19 and my sensor says -10 LOL
My black plug has a wire already in all of the spots. Guess I’ll splice into the ones you referenced and will update on outcome
Feel free to contact our support team at support@boostautoparts.com for assistance
@@boostautoparts it worked!!! Now I just have to go get the check engine light cleared and be all set. Thanks for the great product and very detailed installation video. I wish all companies had it together like you guys!
Bro how did you splice them ?? I have same issues
If you tuck it in the base of the mirror the temperature reading would be off
My mirrors already had a black wire two over from the white corner one so I spliced the black wire to the existing one. It worked and I erased the check engine light
Some vehicles utilize this pin for defrost, so we include a butt connector to perform the splice if needed!
Do you combine the old one and new one together at one end of the butt connectior and then have the other end plug into the port where the original black connection was?
I’m having the same Problem what did you do with the black wire?
Hi, so I put this in but the spot for the black wire was already occupied. I did take out that wire and put your wires in where it said, I moved the other wire that was there over one. My temp is fine now but the check engine light is still on. Any ideas?
The code must be cleared after the harness is installed by a scan tool. After you do this the check engine light should disappear.
Regarding the other wire, the black wire is a shared ground with the defrost. If you originally had a black wire there you will want to splice the black wire from our kit so both the defrost and temp sensor circuits can function. Please contact us if you have any further questions.
I have wires in both locations. Now I'm worried what I'll mess up if I start pulling pins and replacing wires.
Added aftermarket tow mirrors to my 2017 ram 1500 a few years back. Never had this sensor on my original mirrors and it wasn’t on the new mirrors. Now I’m getting the check engine light for this sensor. Any idea why?
Give our team a call at 765-831-2830 to discuss.
Could this also cause my fronts windows to not work? Rear windows work fine.
No - this will not have an affect on the windows.
If my new tow mirrors came with an ambient temperature sensor I don’t need this harness correct?
Correct - and all of our Ram style towing mirrors for 4th Gen's come with a temp sensor automatically so if you bought them from us you're all set.
Followed instructions to the letter still getting -40 degrees. Cleared check engine, still getting -40 degrees. Reset aat sensor by pressing ac and recirculate simultaneously for 5-10 seconds repeatedly. Still -40 degrees. Worst $65 I ever spent.
Something certainly isn't right. We have a technical support team ready to assist - please call us at 765-831-2830 and well assist you in resolving this ASAP.
I have the same issue but with my Chevy Silverado ,I bought some after market tow mirrors and the check engine light went on
We also have a kit for GM trucks! Check that out here: boostautoparts.com/collections/wiring-harnesses/products/gm-air
I bought a set of mirrors from you butnow my outside temp sensor doesnt read right
Our mirrors should come with a temp sensor pre-installed. Please email support@boostautoparts.com for assistance
How about regular side view mirrors with turn signal and puddle light , would it work on that also?
Or does it only works on tow mirrors ..! ?
This will work on all Dodge mirrors from 2013-2018
Question, could the air sensor reading -40 before installing these cause the transmission to hold a gear longer? Put on aftermarket tow mirrors and it holds 2nd until I hit 40 miles an hour then it goes into 4th gesr.
Hey Jon,
I'm not too sure on that one. Our technical support team may know more details; you can reach them via email at support@boostautoparts.com
Mine does the same thing did installing the part fix it?
hello i have a 2016 ram 1500 and i installed 2012 mirrors and it says -40 ik its the sensor would you recommend to follow this video ?
Yes
I have a 2016 ram 1500. I just purchased the opt7 tow mirrors. It’s doing the same thing. Will this work for another brand of mirrors brides yours?
Actually this harness is exclusively used on other companies mirrors; our mirrors come with the temperature sensor installed so this issue wouldn't happen. This harness will work on your opt7 tow mirrors.

Evidently the mirrors I just purchased from Boost didn't come with this sensor because my ck engine light came on anyway!
@@t.o.6662 All of our Ram style mirrors come with the temperature sensor installed. You may have cycled the key with the mirrors unplugged triggering the check engine light. Have you tried clearing the code with a scan tool?
@@boostautoparts
No.... I ordered this kit , then I seen this comment.
