    The turn signal and running light should be in your white connector.
    Everything for the mirror should be in it..

    Does everything else work?

    The gray and white are for the reverse light, you will need power and to connect it to a switch or your reverse lights if that is how you want it to work. By running light and sequential, I assume you mean the light on the front and the blinker? Does the blinker function at all or no?
    Many threads on this topic if you are not asking about the reverse light. Many affordable aftermarket mirrors on ebay/Amazon are not pinned correctly. Your truck has the "running" and blinker already wired into the harness you are plugging into. I'll try to find a thread, pretty sure one had the pin map for the stock harness. Then you just have to re-pin the mirrors to match

    M6 and M5 are your mirror plugs.
    It's not an 8-pin connector, it an 18-pin connector although all pins may not be used.
    Depending you your year and trim model you may or may not have a feed in that plug for a particular circuit.
    In my 2014 I had to run my own circuits for puddle lights and mirror turn signals..

    But as to the 2 circuits you asked about...
    Wire colors correspond to the diagram for each side.

    Turn signals are pin 4 for power pin and 3 for ground

    upload_2024-2-18_14-50-2.png

    Running lights will be pin 9 for power and pin 3 for ground

    upload_2024-2-18_14-51-44.png



    Mirror heat pin 1 for power and pin 2 for ground
    All models have this.

    There are the wires for remote control mirror motors, BSM, power folder, puddle lights, etc. if your truck is equipped with them...

    I have a 2014 platinum and am looking for the pin set up for the bsm. My original trailridge had everuthing except bsm when they were installed on my previous 08 platinum (which got wrecked). So i pulled them off to install on the 2014, however i had to replace the glass. When i ordered the replacement glass they came with the updated features but existing harn3ss does not have the prewired connections. Ive already taken the lights apart to run the extra 2 wires for the bsm to the harness, just dont recall where to tap into

    You can find your diagrams here

    I'm gonna say pin 9 for BSM light power since your Platinum probably has seat position memory.
    If not then pin 18.
    Pin 5 for ground for either.

    I didn't know 2014s had BSM but it's in the 2014 diagrams...:confused::cool:

    Good luck..:D
