Technical Heated mirror

[Daver]

It seems that my drivers door mirror is not heating up, any suggestions would be appreciated

Pop the trim off on the mounting and check you have a 12v feed with the heated rear screen turned on if so then check the glass is conected with the 2 spade terminals (this is assuming its the same as the few cars i have worked on) but i know there is a multi plug under the cover trim for the mirror motor

yah, loose connection, broken or corroded connector, or the resistive element on the rear of the glass has died. A 12v meter will check the former, a resistance/Ohm meter the second. The elements die over time, so the heated glass bit has to be replaced.
