Okay so my little sister tried to squeeze her car thru a tight spot and ended up tearing off her mirror. I've been looking online for replacement parts for the last hour and all of the power mirrors are also heated and I don't think hers are heated. If anyone has some answers regarding this I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

 

You may need to ck with dealer in the morning.

 

It would help to know what edition of the 2000 stratus she has. My '00 ES (v6) has heated mirrors, but doesn't say ANYWHERE that it was even an option for the car, let alone a standard feature. They seem to turn on with the rear defroster. They clear up as a circle in the middle of the mirror.

 

All I know is its a 4cyl with power everything. But your mirrors dont have a defrost symbol on them?

 

No, they don't. there is NOWHERE on or in the car that indicate that they have heated mirrors. But when I turn the rear defroster on, the mirrors clear up quickly in a circle formation. Go figure. At first I thought the circle was where the mirror was attached to the bracket. Than I realized it only showed when I pressed the button on a cold morning.

Come to think of it, My '03 Town & Country doesn't show anywhere in/on the van that it has heated mirrors, but it's listed in the owners manual that they are standard with the trim level I have. They also run off the rear defroster switch...

I guess the only way to know for sure is to have a dealer run the VIN to see if they are a feature. Worse case, you get the e-bay heated ones, and just not plug in the wires for the heater.

 

Yeah im not sure, i just ordered a passenger power mirror. Now how do i get that door panel off?

Wow that sounds like a lot of work just to replace the mirror.

 

Thats just to remove the panel to get the wire you need to unplug the mirror. You can just let the panel hang so you can get to the nuts for the mirror. I'll send the other for removing the mirror.
