Heated mirror Comes on with the ignition

LandyLloydy · Sep 30, 2013

Hi peeps, I've got a 54 plate freelander,my problem is that the heated mirrors come on when i switch the ignition on. Its no biggy when the engines running but if i accidentally leave the ignition on without the engine running I have a flat battery in double quick time. I've read on here that its a known problem but I cant find what its. any advice would be really appreciated

As far as I know the heated mirrors are always on. There is no switch.

That's how they are wired

They only use a few watts anyway!

Ok thats great thanks for the replies. I must have a weak battery then, If I leave the key in and switched on without the engine running, the battery drains so much that i cant even turn the engine over after 10 or 15 minutes.

you have a problem somewhere might be battery or it could be something else draining the battery

The battery in my 7 year old TD4 is better than the one supplied brand new in my Skoda Yeti.

mirrors start to heat as soon as you put the key to postion 2

Leaving heated seats on drains the battery pretty quick.

You haven't done that have you?
