Hi folks, don't know if this is the right forum or not, but feel sure that the admins will move it to the correct place.

I noticed tonight, that my driver's side outside rear view mirror is no longer defrosting. I can't really say when it last worked, we haven't had much bad weather here, and just in the wildest case that it may be relevant, I just recently had my master cylinder replaced under the Ford Recall.

Anyone have any ideas why a mirror would stop defrosting? Any help would be most appreciated....

 

Does the pass side work? If not check fuse 56, 15 amp in the underhood fuse box. If it's only that mirror you will have to disconnect the mirror and check the grey wire. Take a ohmmeter where the grey wire hooks to the mirror and see if you get a reading through the mirror heating element to the black/violet which is the ground wire.

 

Thanks Franklin2, I'll get my brother and his trusty Fluke Ohm-meter and put him to work!!
