Time to do some cleaning up around here.
I have a problem with hoarding parts. I got on the Gentex mirror kick a few years back, and couldn't stop buying them as I found them. So I ended up with four. Then went a completely different route. I need to get rid of them before I somehow wreck them. I liked this style because they don't have the OnStar button. You'll see that on a fair number of the mirrors.
I put power to all of these, and they all powered up fine. Kind of difficult to actually test the various features, but I can't see why they wouldn't work since the display did. I pulled them all myself from various trucks, however all were in wrecking yards so I couldn't see them work when in the rigs.
The wiring isn't all there. The plugs are, with pigtails, just not the full length of wire. The new trucks are just too hard to pull all of it, and the monkeys at the wrecking yards normally cut every wire when they pull an engine, whether necessary or not. But I got as much as I could from each end. Without going and looking closely, these only require four wires. A power and ground to the mirror, then the two wires from the temp probe. The wiring diagrams for these can be found all over by searching Gentex 177 pinout. You'll see some mention an additional wire for the autodim feature, but the better diagrams I saw seem to indicate the additional wire positions were for other things.
I'd take $35 for a mirror with temp probe (only have 2 probes) and windshield wire hide piece and I'd take $25 for the one without a temp probe or the piece that hides the wiring on the windshield, which are in the mid-upper left of the picture.
Upper left mirror, a temp probe with majority of wiring, and a windshield wire hide piece went with it. Leaves right two mirrors and bottom left for sale, two temp probes, two wire hide pieces. I'd take $75 for all remaining.
Shipping not included, Flat Rate should get one to you for about $15, more for the whole lot I'm sure, maybe $20?
