Ok I have to report back i have just been out to my car and done another test with the washer heaters still not getting hot without the program switch being on but i decided to check the mirrors with my hand held tempi probe and me it showed a slight increase in tempi then dropped off again...

Now i posted earlier that i had heated washers and not heated mirrors well i have only had the car 6 years and the mirrors have never shown any signs of heating up so this test got me hooked on why it showed a heat change on the mirror as i thought they where not fitted on my car.

So i started to look around at all the connectors and plugs on my mirrors and washer circuit including the relays on the drivers side mirror harness i found a broken core in SJ210 wire the earth wire,my drivers side mirror casing has had crack in since i bought the car and thought nothing if it as mirror was ok and you could only see the crack when the mirror was folded back but this impact on the mirror must have damaged the core and it has failed.

So after repairing the wire on the mirror i tested the mirror out again with my tempi probe and it went up to 54 degrees ,So i thought right let the car cool down and then try just starting the car and not switch on the program switch and just see what happened and guess what the thing works in full auto now both mirrors steaming with heat and both washers jets 52 degrees on the tempi probe.. .

So Cooperman17 with you posting this question i now have nice warm mirrors and washers working in Auto and Nickj we have a 100% confirmed they work on auto...
