Mirror tap or Fuse box?

Do you remember the color of the two wires you used for switched power, and ground? And switched power, correct? Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been wondering what to do

Not on mine. Just to post more information, my '17 wiring is a little different. My 2017 Raptor with 802A doesn't have the black plastic cover for the wires for the mirror wiring, FYI, like others do. If that matters, which it may. Regardless, the taps shown in the picture above from @2020LeadFootFL (with credit to @FastEddie ) are in the correct location (position 1 for switched power, and number 4 for ground), same as mine - BUT my switched power wire is blue/brown and my ground is black/yellow.

Hope this helps others.

P.S. After much review on this topic, I am left with the impression that the guys at the assembly plant just grabbed the nearest spool of bulk wire when fabbing up the wiring harnesses.

I think you’re spot on. At least they put them in the right holes.

I used the mirror tap kit and it was fast and easy and the results were clean.
