    Heated mirror not working

    N/S mirror not clearing when the heater is on. O/S is fine - presume they are on the same circuit? Any ideas?

    Have you got a test meter? Prize the mirror off and check of there is any juice, that would be my first check. If there is then the mirror's died. They don't last as long as you'd like them too! I had to replace the N/S one (odly enough!) on my last C70 when it was 7yrs old. I picked my replacement up off fleabay for about a tenner.

    Think I might just buy a mirror glass - reckon the heater element has gone.

    It's your heating element. Make sure you get oe as the after market types are crap and don't last very long.

    Common enough fault and yes they are on the same circuit. if the others working then replace the glass that isn't.
