Skoda Rapid mirror heating problem

Need some help. My 2019 Skoda Rapid with a gasoline engine has a problem. The mirror heating isn't working. The error memory has a fault stored. I suspect a cable or plug issue. Anyone else had this before? Estimate is 95€, don't want to jump into mirror replacement if it's just a wire, especially with this cold weather coming!

Whoa, weird! I had almost the SAME thing happen with my Rapid. Mirror heating went kaput. Does your error memory say anything specific? Could be a dodgy connection. Winter driving with busted mirrors sucks big time. It’s a vehicle safety issue!

Error memory says it's the heater element or wiring. How did you figure out it was the connection?

Nah, I didn’t figure it out myself LOL! Took it to a workshop. They checked the heater element first, that was fine. Then they wiggled the wires and BAM, found a loose connection. They said it's common on Rapids due to vibration. So yeah, could save you some cash if you get the connections checked before a full mirror replacement.

Cheers, I'll get it checked out. Ended up costing 95€, cable was busted as suspected. All good now!
