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.

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.
