I'm replacing the driver's side mirror on my 2004 Rainier. I have RPO code DS3 Mirrors, outside rearview, foldaway, power, heated. These also have the integrated amber turn signal lenses and are color-matched to the body.
I purchased a used mirror off of eBay. It's also color matched, with a clear/smoke turn signal lens. I know nothing about the donor vehicle. Is there a way to know if it is heated? Did all color-matched mirrors with smoke lenses come with heated glass? I do not have an infrared thermometer to check the glass for a temp change, and I doubt I'll be able to feel it with the 90+ degree weather we've been having.
Does anyone know if the contacts/connectors for the heating element are easily accessible/visible with the cover off? If they are, what am I looking for? I assume they'll show voltage if I turn the rear defrost on and put a voltmeter to them?
