Driver side heated mirror

[beetle]

...............it stopped working. It's a 10 y/o truck now so it's not a life or death issue but any suggestions what caused it? Thanks in advance.

Fuse? Heating element went bad? Broken wire in the electrical harness?

I would check the wire harness in the drivers door jamb for broken wires. My passenger side mirror wasn't working and the door lock button would lock the drivers door on my 2014 Silverado. found five btoken wires. A new harness was not available, so I dug out the soldering gun and heat shrink. All problems solved. The door does not have to come off. If you remove the door panel you can pull the rubber boot through the door and get lots of room to work.
