9-3 saloon 2006 Heated drivers mirror

Mines packed up - any clues on what to check first?  Fuse is OK - at least one bit of the saab isn't busted..........

Welcome!


The inside of the mirror would be the place to start as the heating element itself is the most vulnerable.  You have to remove the mirror glass first and then look at the two connectors on the back to see if power is reaching the heating element.  If not, work your way back.

There are a lot of random pictures of the mirror and how to get it aparthere   It's from my 9-5, but the mirror heads are identical and the fixing to the door is only three screws.   The black and brown wires are the heater.  The others are for the auto dimming function.  Also the mirror in the picture are folding ones.  But the basic bits are the same.

Attached is a wiring diagram.  Item 702 is the "Door Module" which is the electronic box in each door immediately under the the window switches.

Thanks for that Will.

Mines stopped working too -however mine seemed to pack up slowly - I'm wondering if its a corroded connection somewhere.

That's really useful - thanks. I'll take it apart and fiddle with the multi meter...........
