i have the electric folding mirrors but they don't seem to be heated? is this normal? i can't read the hand book because it's all in japanese

 

I remember seeing a thread about this several months ago-apparently the heater element is allready in the mirrors on the classics but they arent wired up,various people have been wiring them up themselves to (i presume) the rear demister switch.
I think all 01+ cars have heated mirrors though.



easy

 

My jdm 03 sti has folding mirrors but doesn't have the heating feature (I think this was an optional extra for me) however MY00 Subaru Pleo does

 

ah thanks guys thats a great help

 

My 03 STI has heated mirrors, they come on wiith the heated rear window....
STEVE........

 

i forgot to mention its a MY98 wrx i thought it was a bit weird,even my crappy saxo vts had heated mirrors so could i get them wired up fairly easily?

 

Heater jobbies already there but not wired in? Would this apply to my MY99 uk?

 

Sounds like we need someone with a knackered mirror to gut it and photo the internal gubbins for the good of the community....

 

knackered mirror anyone?

 

generally its not that cold in Japan (metropolitan areas anyway)

So the UK gets electric heated mirrors that don't fold, the Japanese get electric folding mirrors that don't heat.

 

OK _ Whose connected those heater elements then ?

We need a UK 'project' description please

My 98 UK turbo wagon doesn't have either heated or folding mirrors

 

Andy - They're not heated as standard, but are electric - 'we' 'believe' that the heater part of the mirror is actually in place, since they electrically moveable, but is not wired up----

The folding ones are Jap only I'm afraid !

my MY04 sti has heated mirrors that come on with the rear window demister

 

Could it be they really come on with the de-mister ?? I'll give it a try in December when we get crappy weather again

 

Err- We're talking classic here, as the new models have 'such mod cons..'...

The classic DEFO doesn't have them wired up....- I don't even know that it has them - maybe need to take a mirror off....

Where's GreaseMonkey when you want him?

 

i had a look under the mirror switch on my sti5 the other day. theres 3 connectors for the mirrors there.

I'm assuming one is for adjusting the mirrors and the other is for the elec folding mirrors, both these are connected. the third one is not connected to anything. any idea what its for ?

 

stick 12v on it and see what happens

 

That'll be the "Super Persuit mode" wire
