How did you wire up the courtesy light? Did you have to take your door panel off to get to the mirror wiring plug?

[chevytruckinman]

Yeah what Fades47 said. can you unplug the mirror w/o removing door panel?

Right in the corner of the window, on the inside of the power mirror, is a little triangle-shaped panel, that covers the mirror mounting screws. This panel isn't part of the door panel, it just pops off.

In order to get the spring back on I used a C clamp and a 1¼" sch 40 pipe end cap. It was the same diameter as the retaining ring but didn't interfere with the teeth that grip the mirror post. I padded the work bench, set the mirror down, then used to the c-clamp and end cap as a press to compress the spring and install the retaining ring. Took very minimal effort.
