Usually the heated mirror and rear defroster is on the same switch, usually the hvac mode switch button. did you check the build sheet that came on the window?

 

 

yep I did look at the window sticker and it does say heated mirrors but when I turn the rear defrost on no ice melts from the mirrors but it does from the rear window thats why I was wondering If you guys had any ideas before it goes back to the dealer...

RPO codes 'DL3' or 'DPN' are heated mirrors, you can check the label in the glove box. If they don't appear to be working then I'd get them checked out. Since you have rear defog lines on the rear window, then yes, as mentioned, they come on at the same time using the one switch.

Turn on your rear defrost and wait about a minute, go and touch your outside mirrors.They should be very warm to the touch.

on mine you have to push the knob in to get the heat in the mirrors as well as the rear defrost. The same knob that switches the heat from legs to dash to defrost

I have a question about the heated mirrors. I have RPO code DPF, which is apparently -

 

MIRROR O/S LH & RH, WIDE LOAD, REMOTE CONTROL, ELECTRIC HEATED HEATED R/CONT O/S MIR(DPF)

 

They extend out for towing, which I am guessing is the WIDE LOAD, REMOTE CONTROL but what is O/S and does it mean my mirror are heated?

 

I have only owned the truck for 4 months and its summer here in Australia so I have not had a need to put the rear demistor on to check.....

 

Thanks

Too add to my earlier post: DL8 is the other model of the mirrors... and all THREE (DL3, DL8 and DPN) are listed as heated.

DE2 are the regular mirrors (non-heated and manual) and DF2 are the trailer mirrors (non-heated and manual)

 

 

DPF - OSRV RETRACTABLE CAMPER STYLE POWER MIRRORS W/TURN SIGNAL AND HEAT

The OSRV would stand for "outside rear view" DPF and DPN appear to be the same mirror.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
