Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello there, do all 996 (1998 Carrera models) have heated door mirrors please The heated screen works fine but the mirrors don't clear The mirrors move fine from the internal controls - just wondered if heated mirrors was an option rather than a factory standard Thanks

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

just bumping this question in case anyone can help please? Thanks

POST 4Original post

My 1999 996 does have heated mirrors, although neither seemed to work until I replaced one side due to it being broken. Now I have one side that works. Don't know why the new one works and the old one doesn't, however.

Interestingly, I can't find it as an individual option on the code list: M270 OUTSIDE MIRROR -PLAN- DRIVER'S SIDE, ELECTRICALY ADJUSTABLE AND HEATABLE M271 OUTSIDE MIRROR -ASPHERICAL- DRIVER'S SIDE, ELECTRICALY ADJUSTABLE AND HEATABLE M273 OUTSIDE MIRROR, ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE AND HEATABLE ...which suggests if it's electric it should be heated?

Would think so. Pop the trim off from the inside of the door - the triangle bit on the other side of the mirror - in there is the connector for the electrics. Turn the heated screen on and poke around with a multimeter?
