    Quick question, when I turn on the mirror heat the passenger side works fine, drivers side looks to be getting only about half power. I could see if one side worked and the other didn't but this is a head scratcher, anyone else experience this?

    Put yer hand on it and see how warm it gets vs the other side. I'm not sure how it could get any less power unless the heating element is on the way out.

    Yeah I know, but you can visually see it when ur in that ice fog. One mirror instantly goes clean, other one's having a bit of a sleep. I've always found that it either works or it doesn't, never in between. Like I said, one of those little head scratchers.....

    Maybe a loose power or ground connection somewhere in the door . . . . just loose enough to make it work a little slower . . . . .

    This is an easy issue if you check but the end of you're mirror arm you'll see connections for heat or for mirror unplug it and make sure u take a knife or razor and tight up the round connections a bit to make good contact put some dieelectric grease and you should be good to go
