Wing mirror heater faulty

[tommyk999]

Hi lads,
Can anybody advice me if i can repair it myself and if yes how 2??
Thank you.

I don't think you can repair it.

[mick 1986]

that depends on whats wrong with it mate.

[steve1975l]

Goes open circuit.

[mick 1986]

if the heater element goes o/c then its bust, but if a wire goes o/c then just replace the wire.

[tommyk999]

Cheers, i have look if its only wire or not. And how can i remove the wing mirror?

[steve1975l]

Just pull the glass off.

The glass just spring clips to the mount. The force difference between removing and breaking isn't huge, so be careful....

A continuity test over the wing mirror heating element wiring will identify if the glass heater has gone or not.

OK so i did manged not to break it but i found that this is the possible problem. Do you how much is new heated mirror from stealers? thx
