Heated power mirrors

Since its winter officially, I've recently tried using the heated aspect of my LX's power mirrors. I was impressed at how quickly the passenger side cleared up.. unfortunately the driver side did nothing in that time frame or in the next ten minutes of having the heat-mirror button on.

I'm wondering if both mirrors are supposed to be heated (I can only assume).. and if so, does anyone have a clue as to why the driver side wouldn't be working? The power aspect works as I can easily change the mirror angle, just not the heat aspect.

Also, if its the wiring as I can only imagine - does anyone have a clear view of the wiring before I think about taking about my dash/driver door?

it should work on both sides. Works the same on both sides of my car. Snow melts off very quickly on both mirrors. Maybe something wrong with the wiring on the drivers side.

Yup, the Acura ELs too.

I'm thinking the problem you have is a loose or broken connection somewhere as both driver and passenger mirrors are supposed to be heated.

You could buy them from a Canadian Honda dealership.

You could try contacting a Canadian Honda or Acura dealership, although I doubt they would be cheap.

Ok, I was wondering if I could get them too. Is it all in the mirror? Like I would just have to get the mirror to do have heated mirrors too? Or is there something I'd be missing?

Yeah I'm guessing my problem is something loose/not working properly.. guessing no one has a wiring diagram and/or DIY for this huh? hehe

Funny though that some US people don't have this option. Very handy in my opinion. Oh well, guess we're priviliged in that respect
