If you've replaced the mirror and it still doesn't work, but the passenger side does, then you probably have a loose wire or bad connection.
and what help have you offered aside from how do you have heated mirrors without a heated rear window and take it to the dealer, sorry let's not forget the loose wire help

Lay off him, and stop cluttering up the thread with useless posts. go back to posting **** in the classified section

umm... isn't the loose wire help the same thing that you offered? He still hasn't told us the results from swapping the pass mirror over.

How about you hold his hand while he figures out how to turn on his headlights too.

and **** in the classifieds? idk wtf you mean by that

No, offering the generic loose wire ( or take it to the dealer ) is about as useful as him posting his truck is broke. Not very descriptive.

As was posted earlier, there are 2 wires used to heat the mirror, a hot (+) and a ground (-). I thought it would be obvious that one of those wires would be the one that is loose.

Also, I seem to remember hearing that if you had an auto-dimming outside mirror, that it wasn't heated, do you think that may be part of the problem?

Anyone that has an electochromatic/heated mirror, chime in!!

oh man, we have a keyboard tough guy.

if the problem is not a bad fuse or a loose wire, it is likely in the OP's best interest to take the truck to a professional and get a professional diagnosis.
