Ractis mirror heating problem

I'm having trouble with the mirror heating on my 2011 Toyota Ractis, gasoline engine. Both sides seem defective; they don't heat up in cold weather, and there's an error stored. Could it be a cabling or plug connection issue, as the initial diagnostics suggest?

Interesting issue. I also own a Ractis, though I don't recall the exact year, and I remember having a similar experience. Was the error persistent or intermittent? Did you notice the problem primarily in very cold weather?

The error seems persistent, yes. It remained even after clearing the error memory. And yes, I primarily noticed it during colder temperatures. Could you elaborate on your experience?

Indeed, it sounds very much like the issue I had. To avoid further damage, I took my Ractis to a workshop, where they confirmed a cable issue. Given your description and the identical symptoms, perhaps it would be wise to present your car to professionals as well.

Thank you for sharing; it's most helpful. I'll schedule a workshop visit. The estimated repair cost should be around 95€. This seems reasonable.
