It sounds like he doesnt have the right part and knows it and is trying to
give you the run around. I have replaced a mirror on my truck and it is a
different truck, but Mopar should have one to fit any of their vehicles.
I would take it back and go to another dealer that wanted to order you the
right thing.

> (ducking and cowering) - my '93 CC Dakota LE had a bit of an accident with the left outside rear view mirror. <cringe, cry, faint> Ok..the original that was on there...had a "remote" on it, which you could adjust the mirror position from the inside of the truck. (I saved the broken pieces and still have them) The bracket which the mirror fits on to (on the broken piece) has 3 holes for the remote wires to attach onto. The new mirror that I picked up from Sandoval Dodge here in Las Cruces...has the same outer shell/casing, but my stepdad moved the mirror around to view where the bracket is..and he didn't see anywhere for the "remote wires" to attach to on this new mirror. He said it had one center chrome/silver post holding the mirror. He wants me to call Sandoval tomorrow and see if it is a remote mirror or not. Also, he said that the remote ..,,on the ends of the wires...should be like a "cap" or something that can actually lock onto the mirror and be secure...well, the "remote wand" is just showing bare wires/tips ...does this mean I need a new remote wand with the tips/whatever intact? I'm totally confused...as the mirror "looks" exactly like the broken one, except for the backing where the remote wires should attach. Do I or do I not have a remote mirror? I asked him if the remote mirrors were only put on from factory and that there are no aftermarket remote mirrors...am I wrong? The part # for the new mirror I have is : 4354365. I'm not sure what else to say/describe ...I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as a remote mirror and a non-remote mirror for a '93 Dakota. Again, the housing/casing is identical....black shell..even has the same numbers...it's the actual mirror I'm questioning. Do I need to return this "non remote" mirror for a remote mirror? If so, do I need to get the "remote wand" as well? This mirror that I have, cost @$100. How much more would it cost for the remote mirror + remote wand (if I need a replacement) Any all help would be EXTREMELY appreciated. I also visited Koller Dodge via website and e-mailed them my problem. I haven't had very good luck with Sandoval. :( The words in "" are there because I don't know if it's the correct part name/terminology etc. That's why I said I'd do the best I can to describe the problem. Thanks to all!!
