My driver side mirror heats automatically, turning on the defroster does nothing. My passenger side one.. well.. RIP - I never intend to get that repaired.

Maybe the same problem

Had the same problem in my 98 C230 with the seats but I don't have the luxury of the graphical display, maybe worth checking out.
There's a relay under a large plastic panel at the back of the trunk, this provides power to 4 25A fuses in the trunk fuse panel (10,11,12 & 13 if memory serves correct). Check both sides of these fuses to ground with a multimeter for 12 volts. Mine was dead.
I cured mine, opened up the relay and there was one bad solder joint on the printed circuit board, resoldered it and all is well.
Hope this helps
