Mine do, you just never really notice since the only effect is that ice and snow don't collect on them.

No, this is just a switch, not a thermistor. Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

The mirror heaters I'm familiar with transfer enough energy to keep the mirror clear even in a misty rain.

The W124 driver's mirrors are all manual only, no power option that I know of. There is a heater in there, though, so there are a pair of wires going to it.

Re: [MBZ] Rear View Mirror
drivers rear view mirror so I don't have to mask it. But on the back of the glass there is a electrical connection. Any idea what the conn could be for? The adjustment is manual - using a small rod in the drivers left front. It's not heated that I know of and so far I cannot understand what it might be for. Should be heated. The remote-control mirror motors are not in the glass, anyway! -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
