Focus electric mirror heating fault

My 2014 Ford Focus Electric's mirror heating is totally dead. It's got about 49998 km on it. No heat at all, and the error memory has a fault stored. Any ideas before I tear things apart?

Sounds like a pain! Had a similar issue on my old Mondeo. Could be a dodgy connection. Have you checked the cable or plug going to the mirror? Sometimes they get corroded.

Yeah, I thought about the connections. Where exactly should I be looking? I'm not super familiar with the mirror assembly.

Okay, so given the error code and the fact both aren't working, and I am just guessing, it's probably something before the split to each mirror. Honestly? With electrics, it's often easier just to book it into a workshop. Those gremlins can be a nightmare.

Alright, cheers! Sounds like a plan. Took it to the shop, and you were spot on - defective plug connection. Cost me 95€ to get it sorted. Thanks for the advice!
