Atos Mirror Heating Failure
Summary of the thread
The 2019 Hyundai Atos experienced a failure in the mirror heating system, with both mirrors not warming up despite the temperature control being set high. The issue was accompanied by an error code, and initial checks showed that the fuses were intact. A suggestion was made to inspect the wiring harness for potential broken wires or corroded connectors, particularly where it enters the door. Upon professional inspection, the problem was identified as a corroded connector, which was replaced, resolving the issue.

Wiring harness, eh? That's a bit beyond my comfort zone, but I get what you mean. Where exactly should I be looking for this 'wiring harness'? Is it something I can easily spot, or am I going to need to take half the door apart?

Yeah, it's usually behind the door card (the interior panel). Honestly, unless you're confident with car electrics, I'd advise against poking around too much. Modern cars are sensitive beasts. Best bet is probably to take it to a workshop. They'll have the tools and know-how to diagnose it properly and trace any dodgy wiring. Could just be a faulty connector or, as the computer suggested, a defective cable. Don't want to risk messing something else up!

Cheers for the advice! Sounds like I'm heading to the shop then. Just got the car back. Turns out it was exactly what you said: corroded connector in the door. 95€ and a new connector later, the mirrors are toasty again! Thanks for pointing me (and the mechanics) in the right direction!

Sounds frustrating! Had a similar head-scratcher with my old Opel Corsa (a 2014 model). Mirror heating packed it in, and yup, error code city. Did you happen to check the wiring harness where it enters the door? Could be a broken wire or corroded connector there. It's a common spot for failure due to all the opening and closing.
