its your defrost button on the dash by the climate control stuff. there isn't an extra button on the mirror control. Joined Oct 17, 2007 · 12,675 Posts
I do believe the heated side mirrors are controlled by the rear window defroster button. Joined Sep 28, 2017 · 2 Posts

Sep 29, 2017 Yes, it is tied into the rear window defrost button. The manual shows a heated mirror icon on the button along with the rear window defrost icon but the button in the truck does not have the mirror icon.

i just have the button on the dash for my mirrors. there is no rear window defrost in my truck so mine does just the mirrors. its that button though. you depress it and the all of your defroster stuff will turn on (the electric stuff not the windshield defroster that uses HVAC).

How are these activated/shut off? Is it all automatic or do they run forever if the defrost is in use? 09-14-2010, 01:03 AMJoin Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,716 Found this at: motorcraft.com, tech section, owners guides, 2008 Escape, 2nd printing: "Heated outside
mirrors (if equipped) Both mirrors are heated automatically to remove ice, mist and fog when the rear window defrost is activated. So I guess the mirrors are heated automatically when you manually turn on the rear window defroster. Good marketing wordsmithing! 09-14-2010, 07:50 AMJoin Date: Feb 2002 Location: Warren, MI Posts: 1,534 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts The switch is on the center dash section, third button down, left of the fan speed control. Sure you have that option? You can see the heating grid on the rear window but the mirrors only have a small marking which looks like heat rising, 3 or 4 wiggling lines. 09-15-2010, 07:57 PMLaughing Gas Thread Starter Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Ottawa, Ontario Canada Posts: 1,162 Likes: 0 Received 1 Like on 1 Post Thanks for the comments. Is this how it works? I thought there should be 2 switches. 09-15-2010, 11:58 PMJoin Date: Feb 2002 Location: Warren, MI Posts: 1,534 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Quote: Originally Posted by Big-Red-Lariat Thanks for the comments.

It could stay ON till you shut it OFF and I believe that it defaults to OFF when the engine is shut OFF or on a restart it's OFF. 09-20-2010, 06:58 AMJoin Date: Sep 2010 Posts: 3 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts 2005 Escape heated mirrors After reading this thread, i was wondering if anyone could answer my question???

It's hard to say if it's wired. For instance, "some" '09 owners that didn't get the OEM Trailer Tow Package still have the complete wiring harness while others don't.
