1999 Passat Heated wing mirrors

I that doesn't work, gently prise off one of the mirrors from its housing and on an electrical heated one, there will be 2 contacts on the rear of the glass with a coil of wire glued to the glass.

I have a 1999 1.9tdi and the controls are on the drivers door...with the knob set in the central point both mirrors should heat up automatically, there is no on/off switch as such, just up(drivers mirror), center and bottom (passenger side).

I had a 1999 Golf 1.8T and the mirrors were heated when the rear demister switch was operated, the Mk5 Golf has a seperate switch, I would imagine the passat ones operate with the rear demister (do you have the owners handbook still?) my 1990 Corrado had heated mirrors too and these came on at ambient temp

Put you rear screen heater on. If the mirrors clear, there is your answer. If you still suspect you may have them its an electrical prob cos they work off the same fuse.

I've found on my Passat the heated mirrors only work when the mirror position control button is set to the centre position

Not on mine

Don't you have to pull the switch to the rear to get theheater to operate?
