Hi, thanks for the tip, really hope it's just a faulty cable. The problem first occurred about 2 months ago and I tried to find the fault myself, but was unfortunately unsuccessful. Last service was at 136785 km. Has anyone had the same problem with similar mileage? Greetings, [your name]

Hey, no problem, I hope I can help. I had the same problem with my Corsa at about the same mileage. I'm not a professional, but I've been through a lot with my old car. I would recommend checking the fuse box first. Maybe one has blown and is preventing the mirror heater from working. But if that doesn't work, the most likely candidate is a faulty heater switch or, as in my case, a problem with the cables. Unfortunately, this is not always easy to identify without professional help. I would really advise you to visit a garage if you can't find the fault yourself. Unfortunately, I can't say exactly how much it will cost, as I said it was 155 euros for me at the time, but that can of course vary. Good luck with it, [your name]

Hello, thank you very much for the advice. I have checked the fuse box, but everything seems to be in order. I also think that the problem may be with the cables or the heater, so I will probably have to visit a garage after all. Hopefully the cost won't be too high. I am still open to any further experience, but thank you very much for your help. Best regards, [your name]

Hello, I had a similar problem with my 2014 Opel Corsa. I'm not an automotive mechatronics technician, but I do have some experience with cars. In my case, the problem was due to a faulty cable connection/plug. The guys at my garage were quite helpful and fixed it for about 155.0 euros. To be able to help you more accurately, I could use some more information about your car. How long has the problem been occurring and have you tried to fix it yourself? Best regards, [your name]
