ECM is the car's main computer.

I don't know about the mirror; some say you take out the exterior shell (painted in the colour of the car) and then push some clips and remove the glass. Bracket should be the same between heated and non-heated versions, don't see why they'd be different.

Brilliant thank you for your help. What fuse do you reckon should be in the auto relay, i think the diagram says type 4 takes a 15amp, Type 5 takes a 20amp, i presume my jimny is a type 4 being on a 02 plate? Why does the red.wht wire go to the ECM tho?

Don't see the reason for a fused relay, there's already a fuse in the defogger circuit (in your fuse box).

I don't know why the wire goes to the ECM; perhaps it disconnects the heating after a while, no idea.

I know this is a very old post, but has anybody fitted heated mirror glass to a non heated mirror? Gen 3, 2003

I had plans to do the same thing this summer, but never got around to it unfortunately. Will follow the thread.

Meanwhile, if it helps, I attach the two diagrams for the mirror cabling ( heated and non-heated versions in high resolution).

There are heated Jimny mirrors on eBay (just the glass and thermal resistance).

Not heated:

Heated:

Hi Can you please post pics again. I understand it is old post, but I hope you have them still.
