Have an 03 Silverado and the Passenger Mirror does not defrost anymore. As far back as I can remember it did, I belive but now the dirver and rear window do but no passenger mirror. All the LED's work and it folds in no problem, just the defrost part does not work. Anyone have any ideas as where to start on this issue.

This is a real common problem,You need a new mirror glass,When you call your dealer make sure you give them your VIN.

I had to change the one on my '04,And I think a lot of guys on here have had the same issue.

Perfect thanks for the help. So I wasnt going crazzy trying to remember if it ever worked. Do you have any idea as to what happens to the mirror glass to make it stop working. I am the type if it breaks I want to know why it did. Also what is the easiest way to remove the old mirror glass.

You know honestly I don't know why they were going bad,I just know we change a lot of them here at the dealership.I also know we had to send some of the ones we changed under warranty back to the GM warranty parts center for evaluation purposes.

As far as removing the old one,I just tilted the glass all the way down and then took a flathead screwdriver and pryed up on some of the retaining tabs,after so many are pryed up you can pull the old glass out of the housing.

To install the new one just apply equal pressure to the face of the glass while pushing it onto the mirror housing,use a rag placed over the glass when doing this,just in case!

      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.
