Default Heated mirrors

Have a dead outside mirror that does not work. Anyone know is there a common issue that i can fix or just replace the whole mirror?

Thanks

It doesn't heat any more? I think those work just like the rear window defoggers.... a metal lattice imbedded in the glass, that heats up with current. Figger out which wires are for the heater, (on the mirror side of the connector), and check resistance. If it is open, (infinite resistance) probably need to replace the mirror.
