you can pop the mirror off and check the wires for power. I'd use a plastic puddy knife. It will pop without breaking anything, but be carefull of course.
Also- a p.o. may have replaced the mirror with a non heated mirror, and the wires would be just unhooked inside.
check it out.
(heated mirrors over time show the glue(?) or something, around the edges) __________________

Theyre both supposed to be heated...i believe there are two pronges on the back the the glass that are the power lines to the actual heater lines...make sure they arent severed and are connected. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

If it was something i wanted to fix i probally would've done something about it. After about 5-10 minutes of driving it clears up. Maybee someday i'll look at it. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active
