Excursion mirror heater failure

My 2003 Ford Excursion with a gasoline engine has a mirror heating issue and a stored error. Odometer reads 80037 km. I suspect a bad cable or plug. Anyone seen this?

I've had similar grief with my Excursion mirror heaters. It's like trying to warm up a glacier with a hair dryer when those things fail. Have you checked the fuse box? Sometimes it's a simple fix.

I did inspect the fuse box, but the fuse appears to be intact. Were your symptoms identical, and did you resolve it yourself, or did it require professional help?

Yeah, same deal, fuse looked good, but the mirrors were still colder than my ex's heart. I'm no electrical wizard; I took it to a workshop. They replaced a dodgy connector and all good since then. Saved myself a migraine.

I appreciate the confirmation. I'll schedule a workshop appointment to address the electrical connectors. I received an estimate for about 95€, which seems reasonable.
