V50 mirror heating failure

Mirror heating not working on my 2005 Volvo V50 diesel. Fuses are fine, diagnostic tool shows an error in the mirror heating circuit. Suspecting a broken wire or faulty connector with this cold weather, but where to start looking? Anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar problem with my V50. Was it both mirrors or just one?

Interesting! Both mirrors aren’t heating. Did yours affect both, or just one side? Where did you find the issue?

Yes, both of mine went out at the same time. I took it to a workshop. They identified a faulty connector, just as you suspected. They had to take apart the door card and properly crimp a new connector. The repair was around 95€. I recommend you do the same.

Thanks for the info! I suspected as much. I'll book it in with my local mechanic to get the connector checked and replaced. Hopefully, it'll be a quick and easy fix. Appreciate the help!
