How To Turn On Mirror Defrost Ram 1500

• #v

I know that this is onetime news to most of y'all, simply its new to me. Here in TX we dont go much demand for our Heated Side Mirrors, but I was driving through the water ice storm on Thursday and cussing the fact that my heated mirrors weren't working....470 miles into it I finally relented and watched a 1 minute YouTube video.

Turns out that Im an idiot. I dont know why I couldn't figure it out, since it is so intuitive.

In society to plough on the Heated REARview Mirrors......you have to turn on the REAR window defroster.

DUH.

Like I said....news to me. Give thanks you, YouTube.

Happy Trails, all.

I'thou fixing to sell my 2016 Bighorn, so when looking over all the paperwork including the window sticker I notice I have electronic adaptable human foot pedals. Never realized it. I then discovered a button on the side of steering cavalcade to exercise the adjustment.
Talk about a "duh" moment.

First time I used the heated mirrors I thought something was wrong with the convex ones. Turns out they're not heated on my build. Went to Heave Auto Parts and bought a kit for the heated convex and now they're heated from acme to bottom.

None of the convex mirrors are heated from ram. which ones did you get?

Fitment: 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Dodge Ram trucks (including Cummins) with OEM or aftermarket mirrors (without power convex/lower glass), and whatsoever older Ram truck with aftermarket quaternary gen mirrors.

The 'or' should exist referring to the aftermarket mirrors and not the OEM mirrors (provided the person who wrote the sentence has a grasp of English grammar).

They work for oem and aftermarket mirrors just not the ones with power convex they have a video installing them where they explain it improve than they tin can type information technology

Skillful catch. Bummer.

The symbol is actually for the mirrors thats the symbol in every vehicle for the heated mirrors too yous will come across the same symbols on the mirrors

The symbol is really for the mirrors AND the rear window if you have the rear window defrost pick. One button works both.

The symbol is actually for the mirrors AND the rear window if you accept the rear window defrost pick. 1 push button works both.

Information technology works for both just information technology is the international symbol for mirror defrost is what i ment

They work for oem and aftermarket mirrors just not the ones with power convex they have a video installing them where they explicate it meliorate than they can type it

I watched the fifth Gen install video and I don't recall whatever mention of this not working with the power convex mirrors...I'll send them an email for confirmation.

@Mike67 do you have the power convex mirrors?
