wing wirror question
« on: 30 November 2004, 10:15 »
after  the wife managed to do a bit of wing mirror jousting with a parked car i have a question, when i went to take the craked mirror off there is two crimped wires running to it. i dont think its anything to do with the mirror motors, i thought maybe it could be for heated mirrors, which i didnt know i had! is it possible the wiring loom is fitted as standard with or without heated mirrors.

oh and its an annivesarry model,

cheers :wink:

Yep that will be the heated mirrors, which work off the rear window demister switch

Hi brains - not heard much from you lately!

Def heated mirrors. Sounds as if your car had a mirror replacement sometime in the past and they didnt fit the heated mirror. probs coz it cost more!

You may want to try a more reputable dealer, like GFS or euro car parts rather than halfords mate!
