Thank you for your response. I examined the heater element and did not observe any apparent damage or corrosion. However, given your experience with an electrical fault, should I attempt to further diagnose the electrical components independently, or would it be more prudent to consult a professional to avoid potentially exacerbating the issue?

Based on my experience, and considering the error is already stored, I would advise caution. While inspecting for visible damage is a good first step, further electrical testing can be complex, particularly with modern car mirror systems. Without proper tools and expertise, you could risk causing further damage. I would suggest taking it to a workshop. In my case, attempting a DIY fix resulted in a more extensive electrical problem.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Given that you encountered a similar electrical fault and the potential for further complications, I will schedule an appointment with a certified workshop for proper diagnosis and repair. The estimated cost of 95€ seems reasonable to avoid any unintended consequences. I'll post the final outcome.

I experienced a similar issue with my 2018 Opel Insignia car mirror heating. In my case, it also turned out to be an electrical fault. During winter driving conditions, the lack of temperature control led to significant visibility issues due to ice buildup. Have you checked the car mirror heater element for any visible damage or corrosion?
