Heated mirror question.
Heated mirror...my 1989 300te has power to the mirror, but it ends there. A meter on the mirror terminals shows no current flow. I even put the mirror in the freezer to activate the sensor. Any idea how to repair this? A new mirror is $125...OR, I will just scrape the mirror clear all winter (cheaper)

Try to check the resitance with an Ohm-Meter. If nothing or short circuit can be read, you need a new one no repair possible. The electrics are all an integral cast part of the mirror glas. I had to swap mine in the S-Class W220 and it was $320.- :-(
