Jade Mirror Heating Issue
Summary of the thread
The conversation centers on a heating issue with the mirrors of a 2019 Honda Jade Hybrid, which are not functioning despite cold weather. An OBD-II scanner indicates an error in the mirror heating circuit, leading to suspicions of a faulty cable or plug. Suggestions include checking the fuse, using a wiring diagram, and testing with a multimeter, but due to the complexity and potential risks with hybrid electrics, professional diagnosis is recommended.

Thanks! The fuse is fine. I'm thinking about getting a wiring diagram and using a multimeter. What are the risks of probing the wiring, especially with the car's electrical system involved?

Right, fuses are usually the first suspect, haha! With a multimeter, just be super careful you don't accidentally short anything. Make sure you've got the meter set to the right range – voltage, continuity, whatever you're testing. Really though, considering it's mirror heating, and you've got an error code stored, plus you're not 100% comfy diving in... honestly, maybe best to get a quote from a workshop? Especially on a hybrid, playing with electrics is a bit scary. They can properly diagnose it. It'll probably be a loose plug or a dodgy wire like you thought.

I appreciate the guidance. Given my limited expertise with hybrid electrics, I'm seeking professional help. I've booked an appointment with a mechanic. The estimate to diagnose and fix the cable or plug is about 95€.

Hey! Bummer about your mirror heat. My friend had something similar, but on a different car. A bad connection sounds right. Have you checked the fuse box? Might be a blown fuse. If the fuse is good, you might need to find a wiring diagram online. A multimeter could also help you test the wires leading to the mirrors. Be careful messing with car electrics though!
