Hi,

I have a 1997 850 T-5 with heated mirrors. The passenger side heated mirror stopped working, but one day I used the switch to move the mirror, I think all the way inward, and then back out, and the heated mirror worked for one day, then stopped working again. Is it possible to have a loose wire connection to the back of the mirror, or do you think the element inside the mirror is bad? Are the mirrors easy to remove?

Thank you,

Michael

Hi,
the mirror-glas can be replaced. usually problem is in the wire-to-heater resistant joint, whichis har to fix by soldering and other ways don't last long.
