    Hi guys does anyone know what to check as my passenger mirror wont demist first time I noticed this morning
    Popped glass off and checked connections on
    Could it be the element in glass gone?
     
  2. My drivers side is the same and I did the same.

    I don't think these are too much to replace are they?

    Dont think so going to check the heater wires with a bulb as multimeter packed in and see if theres a feed if so gota be element in mirror
     
  4. Did you try the bulb?

    I've ordered a new mirror glass off ebay - wanted it sorting before winter sets in. Think it was about £11

    No thankfully just started working after cleaning contacts pal
     
  6. You need a multimeter to test but for anyone else, you should have 12-14v at the terminals with the rear heated screen on and test the mirror element resistance itself with it disconnected.
