Seat Ateca Mirror Heating Issue

My 2021 Seat Ateca with a gasoline engine is giving me grief. The car mirror heating isn't working. 90114 km on the clock. I've scanned for errors and there's a fault stored related to the mirror heating circuit. From what I can gather, it's likely a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else encountered this before? Before I start tearing things apart, I'm trying to avoid an unnecessary mirror replacement.

Summary of the thread

A 2021 Seat Ateca owner experienced an issue with the mirror heating not functioning, with a fault related to the mirror heating circuit detected. The likely cause was identified as a defective cable or plug connection. After consulting with others who had similar issues, it was suggested to check the fuses and consider professional repair to avoid unnecessary damage. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by repairing a corroded cable at a workshop.

I had something similar on my Ateca. The rearview mirror heating wasn't working during cold weather and the error memory was also showing a fault. Did you check the fuses?

Fuses are OK. You mentioned a similar issue on your Ateca. Was it also an electrical fault? Was a mirror replacement necessary, or was it just a plug connection problem?

Yep, same symptoms and same error. I didn't want to mess with the car mirror myself, especially with the electricals, so I took it to a workshop. They sorted it out quickly. Was it worth the effort of potentially breaking something trying to fix it myself? Probably not.

Just got it back from the shop. Turns out a cable to the mirror heater had corroded. 95€ later and all good.
