Mirror Defrosters

Dodge hasn't used those for years. I doubt anyone uses those things anymore. One screw in the sail panel, one near the release handle and two in the bottom of the panel. Remove the release handle and lift the door panel off the door.

First you can check for Active DTC's if you have a scantool and/or tuner. These wont set off the CEL, but be Active internally. If you have no Active DTC's, then that is a good sign and proceed with below. Removal of door panel: Not hard at all. Couple #3 phillips and a torx for the door handle. From the wiring diagram, it appears to be DB/GY & BK for the Heated mirror wires. When Monitored: With the ignition on. Battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts. If you have proper voltage, then it is going to be a mirror element issue. It is possible the connections have become loose on the back but that's rare. They could have corrosion as well! "The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the mirror glass must be replaced"

A short will set a DTC, but since one is working, I doubt that is an issue.
As stated above regarding DTC codes.
Also, they are on the same line so if one works, then communication isnt a problem unless there is a cut in the wire.
OP, just replace the glass already..lol

As I said in my nest post on this thread, they use them for the window controls and the lock cover... They break very easily, and screw drivers screw up the finish/surface of them too.
