Default My passenger side view mirror is no longer heated?

I just noticed this the other day when all of GTA was frozen. My drivers side seems to defrost just fine, but the passenger side stayed frozen.

This is probably a dumb question, but the passenger side mirror is heated too right?

Default They're both heated but...

they break after a few years. The first step for me was the heat stopped working. Then the mirror cancer started (brown rust spot under the glass that eventually preads to the whole surface)

Only solution is to replace and wait 'til it happens again.

Default It was heated on both on the 2001 A4

So the heating element is probably shot in yours.

Default yup, they're heated, I got a replacement from ECS, heated much cheaper

than other places, then ran a bead of automotive goop along the edge to prevent water getting in behind the plastic mounting plate and ruining the mirror, hopefully it works.
