Where is the fuse for a 1998 Subaru Outback wagon side mirror heaters?

Used to work. Now light doesn't come on when the button is pressed. Not in the manual.

Open the drivers door and remove small panel side of dashboard, the other is left side engine compartment. I suggest that you check voltage to the button first. The age of the car will lead to this part wearing out. You may be able to make the contacts work again if you want to disassemble and clean the button. Good Luck Friend.

    I know where the t fuse boxes are. None of them indicate they are for the heated mirrors. Also none of the fuses are bad. I'm wondering if the fuse is behind the door panel near the mirror --maybe inline? Car is old, but I rarely use the heated mirrors, so the button wearing out is unlikely. It could have gotten corroded, so I'll check that.

chapmnfarm: your head lights use a "2" fuse system.
one for the left and one for the right.
The fuse box you are looking for is under the hood on the passenger's side. It is a black box roughly 8 inches long and 4-5 inches wide. When you remove the cover, you will see fuses and relays. What you are looking for is the section in the box which has a cluster of 7 fuses. 3 in one row and 4 in the other. On the outer parameter are two relays. The fuses you are interested in are located in the row of 4 fuses, with the two closest to the "L" shaped part of the box. Both of those should be 15 amp fuses.
The fuse below those should be a 20 amp which is the lighting switch and the one below it is a 15 amp which is for the interior lights and the clock.
Check your harness grounds in the engine compartment near the area you have the problem. There are ground wires which come out of the harness on both sides of the core support. The wires are black in color and have "EYES" crimped onto the ends of the wires. Both of them will probably be located about 4-6 inches below the upper tie bar on each side of the radiator. Odds are that the eyes will be large enough to pass a 6mm bolt through.
I hope what I have given you will resolve your problem. Lem me know,,good luck>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

2007 subaru outback headlight problem

Each head lamp also has it's own relay, you can rule the relay out by swapping the left head light relay with the right head light relay & see if the problem moves to the other side...The relays are also in the same under hood fuse box.
