Description:
This procedure will walk you through the simple steps for replacing
the Outside Air Temp. (OAT) Sensor in your mirror. Your mirror
may be slightly different from the ones in the pictures, but the steps
will be the same.
Mirror styles this procedure applies to are:
West Coast and Moto Mirror or Road Scan
Tools/parts needed: 3/16 drill bit
Electric/cordless drill
Pliers
Rivet gun (needs to fit 1/8 rivet shank)
Parts Kit SK-1525
Step 1:
Disconnect all power to the mirror.
Step 2:
Remove the mirror from the mounting brackets as you would
normally do.
Step 3:
Place the mirror on a table where there will be ample room
to work. If needed remove mirror and harness from truck.
NEVER try performing this procedure on a platform or
Ladder.
Step 4:
West Coast Mirror
Remove 1 screw from the top, and one screw from
the bottom. The side brackets will come off and the
mirror parts can be disassembled.

Moto Mirror or Road Scan
Drill (3/16 drill bit) off the heads of all the rivets
along the bottom perimeter of the mirror holding the
bottom plate on. This will allow the bottom plate
with the OAT sensor to be removed. You may have
to take a punch and gently push the rivet bodies
inside the mirror so the plate will come loose.
Remember to remove all the rivets from inside the
mirror.
Step 5:
Unhook the OAT Sensor from the wire harness.

Reconnect power to mirror.
Note:
In the parts service kit there will be different length rivets.
You may not need them all. One kit was created to service many
different mirrors.
The 2 longer rivets are for the Sensor. The short ones are for
the perimeter of the bottom plate.
