Heated(?) Mirrors & Back Window Wiper/Washer
 
'07 4Runner

1. The outside mirror heaters stopped working (electrical positioning is working).
2. The back window wiper/washer stopped working.

I have checked all the fuses that are mentioned in the user's manual - every fuse that I could find. They all seem to be OK; no signs of blown fuses.

Anyone have a suggestion for further investigation?

Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Problem Solved
 
Here's a little bit of information to file for future reference.

A service adviser suggested that I verify that the back window is completely closed; if it is not, the whole subsystem is stopped. I discovered that opening the back window part way and then closing it was inadequate; I had to open it completely, i.e., let it open until it stopped automatically and then close it completely, i.e., let it close until it stopped automatically. This produced the desired result - magic!

The heating element could be broke there, you should get it checked out. +
