HEATED MIRRORS

Question: The Mrs. "X" has the heating synbol on the outside mirrors. Are they supposed to light up when the heat has been turned on??? 2nd
Is it activated by the rear defrost switch?

Thanks

Re: HEATED MIRRORS

The owner's manual says that the rear defrost triggers it. There also appears to be a separate 20 amp fuse for them. (FWIW).

I can't say I've ever seen them light up, but I know mine work

Regards,
Dave

Re: HEATED MIRRORS

Mine do not light up but they work great. The defrost switch controls the rear window and the mirrors.

Hope this helps,

Re: HEATED MIRRORS

The symbol is just etched into the mirroring (like the "Object in mirror..." message on car passenger side mirrors) to remind you they're the heated type, not to light up.

On the X they come on with the rear defroster. On the new 2003 lighted signal mirrors (pickups only for now, I think) they are just on all the time, no switch required.

Re: HEATED MIRRORS

Thanks to all. I was a bit worried they weren't working. Haven't needed them yet. But the seats do feel awesome when warmed [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: HEATED MIRRORS

Sometimes we get lucky 2 or 3 times a winter season of 40 deg. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I know that's probably a summer day for you [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Actually since we've (wife &amp; kids) relocated to Duette, fl. They've seen very low 40's consistently. And some frost in the early morning [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]


Homestead sunday night and Monday night 50-52 deg [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: HEATED MIRRORS

By March I'm wearing shorts on forty degree days! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Right now our daytime high is in the 30's.

It's always nice to hear perspectives from other parts of the country.

Regards,
Dave
