Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we'll be showing you outside mirror replacement on this '97 Expedition, same as any '97 to '02 Expedition or '97 to '03 F150. Tools you'll need are pretty basic, flat-blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and a ratchet and extension with 6-, 8-, and 11-mm sockets.
Okay, here we're just going to speed through taking off the door panel. You can probably pick up enough here just in the fast motion. You pry off a couple of panels, disconnect the window switch, pry out the reflector, power mirror switch. Remove a couple of screws, and the panel lifts up and off. We'll get to that, and then, we'll get to the mirror right after that.
If your truck is equipped with manual mirrors, then you have three 11-mm bolts right here that you can remove and replace the mirror. This truck is equipped with power mirrors, so we're going to have to remove this water shield. First thing you have to do is remove your door handle, and it's an 8 mm, or if you have standard sockets, 5/16, and the bolt is right in here behind the door handle. Really, the easiest way to do it is to remove this 8-mm bolt first. Then, that bolt is right there. Pull it out. Okay, I'm going to use my socket and just kind of use it to press the teeth here. Get that off. Handle slides.
Then, the speaker is 6 mm, also 7/32 works if don't really have standard sockets. Remove the four bolts on the speaker. Carefully pull the speaker out. Then, unhook it. You might need to use a screwdriver to disconnect the speaker wire. Just kind of pry out on tab with the screwdriver. Going to pull the connector, and now, you want to carefully remove this water shield. You want to avoid ripping it.
Okay, once it's off, you want to lay it somewhere flat to keep it safe. Now, your mirror connects right down here. Disconnect by prying that tab back, pulling down. Kind of feed that connection through, and now, we're going to remove these three 11-mm nuts. Okay, and then there's the mirror out.
Okay, so make sure when you order your new mirror from 1A Auto that you get the same options. This truck is power mirror with no heat, but anyways, I'm just showing you how to take the mirror out and put it in, so I'm just going to reinstall this mirror the way it is real quick, because there's nothing wrong with it.
Feed the harness down in. Put the mirror back in place. Usually start your top nut first. It kind of holds everything together. Got to get them hand tight. Not really push on the wrench too much. Okay, now, grab your harness and it feeds right through here. Actually, the way I'm feeding it through here is wrong. I was doing it the way it was when I took it apart, and then, I realized that this truck had been apart before, and it should just actually go down below and then come up. It should not go through that little square hole.
All back together, and you're all set. And now here, we're just going to speed through putting the water shield and the door panel back on. If you want to see these in regular motion, just check out our video for the door panel removal and replacement. But other than that, you should probably gain enough here, plus taking it apart, which usually makes it easier to get it back together, but yeah, we hope this helps you out.

In this video, we're going to be working with our 1998 Ford F-150. We're going to show you how to remove the side mirror. If you like this video please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this and many other vehicles, and if you need mirrors for your truck, you can follow the link down in the description over to 1AAuto.com.
Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 7mm to 8mm to 10mm socket, ratchet, socket extensions, flat head screwdriver
Pop off the cover tab off behind the door handle. You should be able to do this with your fingers. Then inside there is an eight millimeter screw securing the door handle to the latch. We'll get that with an eight millimeter socket ratchet and extension. Now, the trick here is do not remove this bolt all the way. Get it about halfway out until the handle is free and leave it. It will stay in there.
You don't have to worry about losing the bolt. Grab the sail panel, pop that off with your hand. The upper trim at the rear as well just pops off by hand. Now, normally, there is a seven or eight millimeter screw in both of these locations under those panels. Ours are obviously missing. Lift up and remove the window switch, and unplug all four electrical connectors. Then, remove the panel from the truck. You can then lift up, lay your door panel back, unplug the marker light, and remove the panel from your truck.
Remove the three 10mm nuts on the back of your mirror. Now if this is a power mirror, and ours is a manual mirror attached to a power door, you would find this connector down here—this is the one for your power mirror. You would want to unplug this and fish it back up through the door, so after you remove these bolts, you can feed the harness out of the truck. Where ours is manual, we'll just go ahead and remove the hardware. When undoing the last bolt, be sure to reach out and support your mirror. Remove the mirror from the door.
This foam backing is normally adhered to the back of the mirror, ours is stuck to the door so we'll just throw our part on. However, if yours isn't here you're going to want to make sure that it's installed onto the mirror before reinstalling into the door. Line it up and reinstall the three 10mm nuts. Now if you had a power mirror, again you would want to feed the wire down through the middle of that opening, drop it down here, and plug it back into its connector.
Normally, there's this series of clips that will retain your harness against the door. Ours have been broken or are missing, so we'll just feed the wiring for the switch up through the panel and reconnect our courtesy light into its socket. Line up the door lock into the pins in the door and slide it back into place. There are also your two screws or pins in the corner here that you'll need to reinstall. Ours are missing.
Reinstall the top panels by lining them up and snapping them into place. Switches in your panel. Line up the tabs and snap it back into place.
Reinstall your door handle and line up the bolt with the hole, and reinstall it with your eight millimeter socket and ratchet. Reinstall the little plastic cover, and you're good to go.
