Are you able to fold the mirrors with you hands quite easily and normally? I haven't tried folding my electric folding ones so wouldn't know what to expect but I suspect it wouldn't be as easy as if they were non electric folding. Be careful!
Next thing I would check then is the heating connections inside the wing mirror case. If you angle the glass as far down as you can towards the floor, then get your fingers in behind and gently pull the glass off the mount. There should be 2 (i think) connections to the glass, this is the heating aspect.

On an 09 it works off the windscreen de-mist button. You have to have the wing mirror dial at 12 o'clock as well.
Ok so had a look behind my mirror definatly got connections for heated mirror to the glass , tryed it with front demist still not workin , ther is a light last iluminates on dash or not when there switched on isnt there ? Also folded mirrors in by hand they fold in fairly easy dont feel like im pushin a motor if you get me , can i use one of these vin decoders to see if it was definatly fitted from factory ? cheers
