Mokka Heated Mirror Failure

My 2017 Vauxhall Mokka, diesel engine, heated mirrors have stopped working. Mileage is at 84942 km. Diagnostic shows an error in the memory related to the mirror heating circuit. Thinking it's a dodgy connection, has anyone else seen this?

Summary of the thread

A 2017 Vauxhall Mokka with a diesel engine experienced a failure in its heated mirrors, with diagnostics indicating an error in the mirror heating circuit. The issue was suspected to be a dodgy connection, similar to a problem encountered by another vehicle owner who found a corroded connector block within the mirror housing. The solution involved cleaning the corroded connector and replacing a damaged wire section, which resolved the issue at a local garage.

I had a similar issue with my old BMW. Mirror heating failed, and it was a corroded connector block within the mirror housing. Did your diagnostic specify which mirror is throwing the error, or is it a general fault?

The diagnostic doesn't specify which mirror, just says 'Mirror heating circuit defective'. Was getting to that connector block a pain on the BMW? Any special tools needed, or is it fairly straightforward?

Access was quite awkward. Several layers of plastic trim and a torx screw were hidden behind the mirror glass. Proceed with caution! Given your diagnostic result and mileage, I'd strongly suggest a workshop visit. It is probably just a loose or corroded connection but can easily turn into a larger issue.

Took it to a local garage. You were spot on – corroded connector within the mirror housing. They cleaned it and replaced a short section of damaged wire. Bill came to 95€, so not too bad. Thanks again!
