Recently the heated seats and heated rear screen have stopped working and the blowers don't kick in on the front demist. All the controls light up. All fuses appeared fine but I have swapped with known good ones just in case.

There is a very good chance that this coincides with me fitting a new stereo so my first port of call is to check the wiring to the back of the control unit in the dash.

The only thing that confuses me is that the drivers side heated mirror doesnt work, which I would expect, but the passengers side heated mirror does work??

Could there be something else wrong? Surely the mirrors are on the same circuit as the rear screen?
 
Pulled the controls from the dash, the plug nearest the driver was completely unplugged. Plugged it back in and the heated seats now work, front demist now works, hard to tell about rear demist and drivers mirror as yet
 
You should be fine. The mirrors get warm very quickly and I think come on with the rear window heater.
