heated mirror

I tried the search engine on this topic, but with no luck. I have an '02 Yukon with the passenger mirror not heating. The mirror movement is still working. 1) Is there a continuity check I can do from the connector to see if the heating element is open? 2) Is the heating element external to the glass where i can solder an open or replace it separately? 3) How does the mirror get removed...pry it? 4) What do replacement cost if I mess this one up?

Thanks in advance!

Not worth fixing or even troubleshooting in my opinion. I replaced my glass. It just prys off and plugs in. Cost was about 35 bucks if I remember correctly.

Is it correct to assume the mirror glass that can be pryed off contains the replacement heating element embedded in it?

Yes it does. Just replaced both of mine. Took ten minutes.

Excellent!!!! Thanks!!!
