How-To Install Heated Side Mirrors
Yep you saw it right! I figured out how to get the mirrors going. Took me all day saturday on Thanksgiving but it's working. I have wanted this because even during the winter I get ice on them all the time. Have fun guys. This is also in the How-To section.

but of all the things, you forgot one final note.....the total cost....this is something i have wanted to do, and luckily i can now use your write-up....so....how $$$$$$$$$$.

This is awesome. I just tested for this very thing this past weekend. I also found the same results. I have manual climate control and the defogger switch does pass current(with an added relay you mentioned) to the doors. I was just wondering if I needed just the heated glass parts instead of the whole mirror. Correct me if I am wrong...but all I need are the heated glass pieces and some wiring. I don't need the whole mirror assembly right? I would have gone further but I got into programming my new Home Theater remote (still not done BTW).

Ok i'm gonna add this to the web page.
Rich I'll add to it too that it will work with manual control. Thanks!
Ok the How-To has been updated and includes the price and that the manual climate control works too.

Nice job Fezzik! I've been wanting to do that for a while, but after doing my heated seats and car stereo, I was sick and tired of pulling the Max apart!
But I do have one question... In the end you said you used a computer jumper to plug into the mirror harness, right? Is that the harness that is clipped into the mirror? Couldn't you just have cut the harness off and connected the wires with a crimp or bullet or something? I just want to make sure I am understanding what you did, that last paragraph isn't entirely clear to me.

heated mirror relay
Maybe this is the better place to post this Q:
I want to ask those who know what the relay looks like.
I have a white piece there (looks like the female half) of the relay. The other is probably blue or black.
