findmypath Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hey Everyone. This might be a stupid question but I recently bought a 03 Pathy LE and how do I know if I have heated mirrors?

Runnerman Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Press the Defrost button you should see your mirrors start to un-fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 96pathfinder4x4 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I just found out that my 96 LE has them as well. They come on when the Def is used and it works pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dank Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Its funny this topic popped up. Last week on the way to school, it was like 9 degrees F outside and I noticed that my mirrors started defrosting...i was like WTF? But never dawned on me that such a "luxury" would be available for models as early as 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Man Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I wonder if my '01 SE has em? I suppose I could do a test, but it's not often they fog up. How could I try this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02silverpathy Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 SWEET, i never knew this either. question is how are they doing it? if you own a chevy truck its simple, air from your window defrost goes right into the door and out the mirror. the mirror is like a free passage out of the truck. i am not finding such duct work for the pathy, but i only looked once a while ago. so do they work with front window defrost or back window defrost?

Pezzy Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I just turned on the back window defrost and voila!! Gorilla man... heavy breathing on the mirror maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowOSU Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 WOW, my 97XE has them. Granted my mirrors never fog up that much, but it is capable of melting ice (poured some water on there last night) Definately good to know that that's available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I don't think my 02 LE has heated mirrors but I'll turn on the defrost and see if they get warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Bringing this up from the dead because my heated mirrors stopped working. a few weeks ago the drivers side stayed foggy the whole drive home and now both sides stay frosted. As anybody messed with these yet? I want mine to work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vengeful Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It's possible the heating elements in your mirrors have burned out, then. They are electrical, unlike the GM units, which simplly blow hot air into the mirrors. You can pull the mirror glass off, turn on the defrost, and see if the elements get hot. If that's not it, they may have separated from the mirrors. Another possiblility is the wiring may have corroded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Just to verify, the defrost switch on the R50 activates the rear glass, the mirrors and they windshield...? I don't remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
