Funny mine don't either, Let you know when I've had a look!

Turn on the mirror defroster, and check the voltage on the connectors to the mirror.. If they're at 12 volts, the grid in the mirror is busted, get a new mirror.. It's impossible to repair.

Same procedure on the seat actually :)

I cannot find the connectors. I disassembled the side mirror, but the wire is going into a bundle of wires through the doorpost; I don't have a wiring diagram. If I have to buy a new one, is this only the mirror (glass) itself or the complete unit? (the laquered unit?)

About the seat: I found two wires (black and red) going into the cushion -- I measered no voltage on these. Allthough I found the connector that is coming out the floor, where I could measure 12 Volts. Then the wiring is going into a bundle with other wires for the electrical memory seat. What is between those to measuring points?? Is there a heating in the back as well or only in the cushion underneath the driver?

thanks

On my 850, when I tilt the mirror all the way inwards, I can see the two connectors to the mirror (on the glass). On mine they show 12V when the heating is turned on, but the mirror is not defrosted, so I've been told that I should buy only the mirror, and that should work. On a 960, I don't know.

About the seat: I don't know :(

I presume that you have checked all the fuses.
