Not 100% sure that the heated mirror on the driver's side is working properly.

I'm assuming that it isn't supposed to heat up all of the time so what is it that effectively switches it on?

Passenger side mirror cleared quickly yesterday so assume that side is OK.

Re: Heated drivers door mirror

The door mirror heater comes on with Heated Rear Window (HRW) function. 

To test simply blow onto the mirror glass with a wide opened mouth (not a whilst blow) just as though you would blow on some spectacles before cleaning. Make sure your HRW is switched on though. 

By blowing some moisture onto the glass if the heater is working you will see this mist disappear almost immediately.

Ha - why didn't I think of that?
