Renault Trafic 2019 Diesel wing mirror defroster not working: looking for advice and mechanic recommendations

Mirror doesn't defrost

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Renault Trafic 2019 Diesel (105479 km). The wing mirror is not de-icing. Have any of you ever had a similar problem? Maybe it's due to a defect in the wing mirror or the wing mirror heater - but I'm not sure. Have you had any experience in the workshop with such cases and can you perhaps recommend a good mechanic? My last experience was not the best... Thanks in advance!

Hey, I actually had a similar problem with my Renault Megane 2016 (89432 km). In my case it was a fault with the cable connection/plug. It was a bit of a pain in the garage because they had to check a few other things first before they found the actual fault. So there's no need to panic, but you should have it sorted out at the workshop. The wing mirror doesn't de-ice - it could be really annoying, especially in the cold season. In my case, it was solved pretty much immediately after they found and repaired the faulty cable connection. Just stay calm and have it checked in a workshop.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! It's good to know that this also occurred with your Renault and could be solved. Do you happen to remember what you had to pay for it and has anything else come up in the meantime? Thanks in advance!

Hey, no problem! So, after I went to see the mechanic, they fixed the wing mirror or wing mirror heater fault. It turned out that the cable connection/plug was actually defective. This cost me a total of €155. So not cheap, but since then I've had no more problems with the wing mirror, it works perfectly. I hope this helps you and you have better luck with your mechanic than I did back then! ٩( 'ω' )و

Hey, that's actually helpful to know! 155 is not exactly cheap, but if the problem is fixed afterwards, it's probably worth it. Thanks for your help, I'm a bit more reassured now and will probably have it checked out at the garage soon. Keep your fingers crossed that the repair goes smoothly! Thanks again and have a nice day!╰(*°▽°*)╯
