Hello all, another bit of advice please.
My N/S heated door mirror is not working. As both mirrors appear to be on the same fuse and the O/S is working, where should I start to find the fault. Any advice gratefully received.

You need to check that power is getting to the mirror heater. However it's quite common for the electrical connections on the mirror heater pad to corrode, causing failure of the heater.

Replacing the glass is the only cure for this, as far as I know.

Thanks. How does the glass come off?

They normally unclip from the motor assembly. What year is the vehicle?

The mirror has lots of clips that clip to a plate on the motor assembly.

You have to prise the glass off the motor, which normally results in the glass breaking. This makes removing the glass a one way trip, so you need to be sure that there is power getting to the mirror assembly first.
