Heated Door Mirrors

Trying to work out why my wing mirror lenses are always dirty, I noticed they're always hot with the ignition on. Really hot to the touch!

Is this normal? Looking at the wiring diagram there's no switch. I would've expected them to be switched with the rear demister.

So, that's why they're always dirty. Dirty, soapy or screenwashy water dries on them in seconds.

Are yours hot too?

Re: Heated Door Mirrors

As far as I can tell they are always on - you could always replace them with the much cheaper non-heated version!

Yup, same here, and my 94 525 was the same...

Re: Heated Door Mirrors

Fair enough. I didn't think it was a problem after looking at the wiring diagram, but even Vauxhall can wire them to be switched by the rear demister....!

Would this be a wiring diagram for the E34 or indeed one for the M5?
If it is the latter, then where did you source such a thing?

Re: Heated Door Mirrors

It's for the E34. A 15Mb PDF. There are one or two inaccuracies, because the document covers the 535i.

I also have a WD for the '93 M5, but that's even less accurate, so I stick with the '95 535 one.

Re: Heated Door Mirrors

Sorry, I forgot to add - this (and PDFs for all other BMWs) was on the "ETM" CD - available from the same source as you got your ETK and TIS!

All I got is the Haynes book, obviously not covering the M and the Bently book, which again does not cover the M.

What I'm really looking for, is how the deadlocking works, which is different from my 94 525, on that car the locking had two stages, one for normally locking the door, and the second stage was deadlocking and the window/sunroof closure feature. On my M5 and I'm sure many of yours will be the same, it has only one locking position and that position deadlocks the doors.

Hence I'd like to see how this is wired and how it differs from the other E34 models.

My alarm as such dos not deadlock the doors when armed, which is annoying me

Not wanting to go back to the installer, you see...

Got it mate

Will have a look through tonight and see if anything jumps out at me.
Really I just need to find out where to connect the alarm's locking signal wire to, as it is obviously just locking the doors, but not deadlocking them. Would not have though it would be too difficult, might be best to pull the door card off and have a look
