Re: No Heat
Check that 20A fuse to see if it has blown. Don't replace it yet.
Unbolt the sunvisors and pull the wires gently to get at the connectors. Sometimes the wires break up high, right at the pivot point of the sun visor arm. You may have enough slack to attach another length of wire across the break. It all depends upon how high the break is and hoe much extra slack you have. In my son's pearlie, they were easily seen and I was lucky to be able to repair them without taking anything off.
I just twisted on another length of thin wire, and soldered it with one of those instant "cold heat" soldering guns. i used the liquid electrical tape and brushed on a couple of coats with a small brush. Once dry, I cut a slit in a small piece of foam weatherstrip and laid the connection inside for extra protection. Hooked up the connector and pushed everything back into place.
You may have enough room to just tape over the breaks to insulate them as a temporary measure until later. You won't have lights in your visors, but heat is more important.
Don't forget to replace the fuse.
If you can't see or get to the broken wires easily, use Nate's procedure.
Good luck.
