Seeking Repair Advice for Faulty Heated Windows and Exterior Mirror in 2001 RNessa

Hey there! I had a rather similar issue with my 1999 Primera, also a Nissan like yours. I'm no expert but I do tinker with my car every so often. I had this problem with my mirror heating and the heated windows, and after a short trip to my local garage, it turned out to be a defective cable connection to the mirror. The plug on the mirror glass was also defective and slightly oxidized. The cost of the job was a reasonable 155 Euro, which included the diagnostic, new cable, and labor. The problem was solved in no time after the fix! But before jumping to conclusions, could you share more details? Each car can be a bit different. Knowing your vehicle details will be handy to better help you out. Cheers!

Hey! Thanks for the advice. My RNessa is at 80086KM, recently serviced. The issue most definitely could be that mirror connection. I'll make sure they check that at my local garage next time. Did you have to replace the entire mirror on your Primera or was it just the cable? Cheers for the help!

Hey! Glad to hear my experience could potentially be of help. With my Primera, it was just the cable and the plug on the mirror glass that needed replacing - didn't have to swap out the entire mirror thankfully. It was a bit oxidized which was causing the mishap. Just a heads up though, from my experience, the specific part needed might vary depending on the model and the mileage. So, it's worth getting a full diagnostic done by your garage just to be safe. Always best to fully understand the problem before chucking parts at it, you know what I mean? Hope your RNessa gets sorted soon, all the best!

Hey, thanks a bunch! Really helpful advice there. I'll definitely ask my garage to run a full diagnostic before making any decision. Don’t want to just throw parts at the problem without knowing the exact cause. I'm crossing my fingers that it's just the cable like in your case. Thanks again for your guidance - much appreciated! Fingers crossed, RNessa starts behaving herself soon. Cheers!
