Side view mirror demister - 10/26/2007 10:07:22 AM    vrx26   Posts: 35 Joined: 6/30/2007 Status: offline I know this feature has been posted around this forum few months ago, if I remember it right it only works in some model range in a particular area. When I was flipping on my owners manual I noticed that on the fuse box located in the passenger compartment, there is a fuse outlet for this feature. I am not a technical person so I want to know if this feature will work or if there is a possibility that it will work just by inserting a correct fuse on that outlet.  I am also unsure if it has its on/off switch  or does it work in conjunction with the rear window demister. Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks Post #: 1

The wiring is mostly likely already there. _____________________________ PAXTech auto & motorsports blog http://paxtech.blogspot.com For the latest in Outlander News from around the world: Outlander Online Community- http://outlander.freeforums.org (in reply to vrx26) Post #: 2

It should switch on too when you defog the rear glass. _____________________________ PAXTech auto & motorsports blog http://paxtech.blogspot.com For the latest in Outlander News from around the world: Outlander Online Community- http://outlander.freeforums.org (in reply to vrx26) Post #: 4

B/c here in seattle temperatures are dropping and everything. I go outside and see my outtie iced up and when i start the car and put the temp to 85, defrost switch on, and turn the dial to the defrost. But then how come my side mirrors didn't defrost? I mean rime ice is still there on the side mirrors. Is this a feature on the US XLS outtie? (in reply to rcpax) Post #: 5
