I think that Hellfire is correct: the mirror heater is activated when the switch is rotated to the right, the 3 o'clock position, towards the front of the car.

Didn't realize that this activated the washer nozzle heaters though. Good to know!

And I had the mirror switch all the way to the right, basically on the oposit side of the L dot R mirror ones.

I hope it works tomorrow, it will be -22

You guys may have more beef and oil then you know what to do with but sweet JEEBUS is it cold out there...

Could be that the fluid is freezing in the lines downstream of the nozzle heaters...bummer.

I think it was just ****ty washer fluid as this week when we were getting down to -45 with the wind I use it once and it worked. Used the -40 or -45 rated stuff - but of course it still kinda freezes on your windshield a bit. Also had the heated mirrors on.

Wouldn't that be the 12 o'clock positon?
