So we had -5 this morning, very icy, started her up and switched on heated screen (rear and front).

Took a while (3-4 minutes) and the front screen started to clear but was a little slow. The rear screen cleared faster but I noted the side windows in the boot area did not. Are these supposed to be heated also?

The driver side wing mirror took a while but did eventually start to clear but the passenger side one did not, it remained icy. Both mirrors fold in ok and adjust etc so I am wondering what other people see when it's icy on their vehicle?

Are there any fuses that could have blown that prevent these from working?

side windows arnt heated , thats the diverse antenna's there..

on my 2008, the rear window, front window, wipers, and side mirrors heat up.. ... - .- -.

One morning I though the front screen wasn't working as it took a long time to defrost but on a light frost it worked fairly quick, door mirrors work fine and clear very quick to clear as does rear screen.

As for the rear side windows the wire you see is the stereo aerial yea? If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Pass mirror glass is probably U.S. sir

oh ok that explains the side rear windows then, I saw what I thought was a heater element but as you say, it's actually an antenna, good to know.

I'll have to take a look at the passenger mirror then. Are the mirrors auto heating or only come on when the screen(s) are heating? I wonder if there is a separate fuse for the heater element of the mirrors then, as I say, all electric adjustments work on it,

They are ignition fed at that age, so on permanently

@ Craig, when did they change then? Are you saying the facelift 06> are now switch fed and not on all the time....seem to be a backward step imo. If it dont work.......burn it!

No no, they have always been ignition fed
