My car has started to fall apart.
OK, that's a bit hyperbolic, but one year into ownership, I've had three issues pop up in rapid succession on my 1995 940 base: Play in a tie rod end, a noisy AC clutch bearing, and now this: heated mirror (just the right one), and heated rear glass stopped working. Not too bad for a car that's nearly 29 years old.
I realize I need to get in there with my multimeter and do some troubleshooting. But I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this combination of failure, and can give me a place to start looking. I haven't checked resistance on either element yet, figuring the failure of both at the same time is unlikely, and assuming they are wired in parallel. Of course this is the first frosty morning in half a year, and perhaps they didn't both fail simultaneously. But I'm enjoying typing this in my cozy kitchen, and will venture out with my thinking cap once the temps get into the 40s (was 27 when I noticed the problem--last week saw highs in the 80s, and slept with an open window for two nights, New England for ya).
Thanks as always, Wilson
