Guys,

Everytime I touch my exterior mirror glass when out in the car they are hot. Are they meant to be continuously heated or am I missing something, is it external temp related? I do live in Scotland.

Thanks
 
yup always hot. does seem a waste to me though :?

IMO would be better linked to the rear window heater...
 
Ah well, that is rather stupid isn't it. Must draw a fair amount of current from the battery especially if you have the autolights on etc and are trying to start it.

Thanks for the replies much appreciated. Back to :driving:

See you.
 
It's not always on. It depends on the outside temperature and the rain sensor / use of the wipers. However, once it's been switched on it stays on for the rest of the trip.
