Heated mirror fault

[kgnich]

I have a 2003 estate Tdi 130 sport. The heated mirrors don't work. The fuse card indicates fuse No 9 is responsible. There is no fuse in slot No 9 but the mirrors are definitely of the heated type. There are no contacts in No 9 slot either. Does anyone know where the fuse for the heated elements is? Many thanks.

Have you checked if you have 12 volts at the mirrors? You probably have.
I dont know which fuse but I know that the over heat protection in the mirrors burns out when you forget to turn the heaters off so either you buy new ones or you remove the mirrors and short circuit the over heat protection to get them working again...

Have a small guide with pics on how to do this but I dont know how to post it here. Tried but it does not work...

Thanks for the response. In the end I took the mirrors out and then reinstalled and reconnected and , surprise, they now work Never did find the fues!
