V Klasse mirror heating problem

My 2003 Mercedes V Klasse with a gasoline engine has an inoperative mirror heating system. The error memory suggests a compromised cable or plug. Is this a common problem and could this be a simple fix? I've been quoted 95€, is this reasonable?

I had something similar happen on my V Klasse. Did you check the fuse for the heater element? It's a simple thing, but easy to overlook. Could a blown fuse cause the error code?

Could you specify the exact fuse location you are referencing? The electrical schematics for this particular model year can sometimes be less than transparent.

Honestly, I can't remember the exact location right now. It was some time ago. If you've already got an error code and you suspect a broken wire, you're probably better off taking it to a workshop. They will have a better chance to diagnose the issue.

Following your suggestion, I sought assistance from a qualified technician. As suspected, a corroded connector was indeed the root cause. The connection was cleaned, the error code cleared, and function restored. Thank you for the advice.
