406 heated mirrors

Dec 11, 2005 3 Replies

I don't think my mirrors heat up, 2001, 406 rapier hdi estate.


  1. does it have heated mirrors ?


  1. are they automatic ?

  2. whats likely to be wrong ?

In process of having an extension on the house so handbook, haynes etc are all packed away :-(



Also what is the button on the climate contol with the arrow sweeping up the screen for ?



Regards Jeff


The mirrors should come on with the heated rear window. You can feel they work after a couple of minutes. The button is the control for the recirc motor. Stops the outside air coming in. Useful when in heavy traffic stuck behind an old diesel truck!!!

Thanks for that Nigel, I don't think they are working, are they fused seperately or off the HRW fuse ( can't see both being broken but is a possibility)presume its just a case of popping the glass out and checking with a meter ?

Regards Jeff

Shouldn't think they would be fused seperately. Don't know for sure but I have never known both to go, so do check the fuses. Does the HRW work? If so, and I guess they must come off the HRW relay, then it could quite possibly be a wiring fault. But check the feed and earth at the glass.
