richmillions Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Are heated mirrors on both sides (driver and passanger) or just the one? The reason I ask is only my driver side seems to do it. Its a uk hr model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Both should be heated. May have a faulty element or connection if one isn't working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 There's heated mirrors availble on UK-spec cars? I thought that was one of those fancy-dancy JDM only options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmillions Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Something strange, just checked the mirror doesn't have the elements but I can't see the two black wires that plug in if it was a heated mirror (saw them on a guide for taking them apart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 My 04 UK DE also has them. They come on when you turn the rear heated screen on. Maybe someone has replaced the Wing mirror at some stage with one off a car that didn't have heated mirrors ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think that, it's annoying one clears and not the other....I'm guessing its not cheap to get a replacement either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I would be be more suspicious of a bad or broken connection as Neil says ^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Does sounds like the car has had a JDM replacement mirror, but that said I never had occasion to check the electrics into the mirrors on my previous 350's, (see sig) both of which were UK supplied and the mirrors were heated.
