Perpetrated heated mirrors

Clear instructions on how to fix his own heated mirrors in your car.

Filmed from the back side of the mirror.




Termofenom warmed mirror surface and put in plastic cards, to further dismantle the plastic frame mirror.



Periodically, warming termofenom neatly stuck on cards.



The periodic warming with a hand mirror hand mirror accurately disunite thermocouple and a housing.



Thermal tape glued to the mirror. As you can see, there is nothing damaged.



Warmed mirror of the thermal tape peeled off from the mirror. (I have not got it very carefully because of the weak warming). Then tear off the film is not necessary, but I continued dismantling of curiosity and ...



... And the film is completely peeled off from the mirror.



Measure the resistance between the contacts and got something like 30 ohms.
If the resistance could not be measured, it would have to make a hole next to the terminal and the other to measure there.
And I was lucky and I immediately found the damaged compound
(There is visually seen what contact does not work, the conductor on the film becomes a little darker).



I have done a film in the hole for the detection of broken terminals.



This is the future conductor. From it will only need the leg.



Phillips made a slit in the film using "Paper Cutter" anointed acid solder slot,
I put the smallest rivet with a washer and riveted hammer on a vice.
JERSEY advance, you must smear solder acid and solder proludit part of the outside.



Acid itself. When dry, it forms a thin conductive film.



Solder the leg by radio to the washer and to the faulty contact.



Cheers, have a contact resistance of 27 Ohm, Ohm floor weigh my wires =)



Pasted on the mirror dvuhstronny Foil scotch.



Glued to the mirror film



In the film again, stuck tape, I advise you to stick a porous double-sided tape thickness of 1.5-2 mm, it would be better to keep.



Slightly heating termofenom adhesive surface, to establish a framework and a good mirror pressed.



Place of repair.





I connected to the power supply for verification. Heated floor eats amp.
You can set and saved money can be spent on something useful or tasty.
