Heated Element: Description and Operation
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated mirror package have an electric heating grid located behind the mirror glass of each outside rear view mirror.
The heated mirrors are controlled by the rear window defogger switch. Electrical current is directed to the heating grid inside the mirror only when the
rear window defogger switch is in the ON position.
If the outside mirror heating grids and the rear window heating grid are all inoperative, (Refer to HEATED GLASS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If
the outside mirror heating grids are inoperative, but the rear window heating grid is operating as designed, (Refer to HEATED MIRRORS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire power mirror unit must be replaced(Refer to
POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL) and (Refer to POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIRROR - INSTALLATION).
The heated mirror is controlled by the rear window defogger switch. The only time that the heated mirror is ON is when the rear window defogger is ON.
The mirror should become warm to the touch.
