First thing I'd do is pop a glass off and measure voltage on them, with engine running, if no voltage then perhaps try another switch, there might be a minimum temp that that work at so it needs to be quite cold first

Post by: jbenekeorr on March 04, 2014, 07:59:17 pm: I think from memory it has to be 10 degrees or less for them to work.

Not much danger of it being above that much at the minute!

Post by: SI-R32 on September 07, 2017, 10:25:16 am: A fix would be to fault find the issue so remove the glass put the heated mirrors on in cold weather as I'm not sure they work if it's hot and test the 2 wires on the glass for 12v, if you have 12v the glass is u/s if you don't have it then it's possibly the 5A fuse suppling the door module but you would have other door related issues so probably not this.
