Answer
you could check the fuse , it could be the switch, or relay if there is one for the mirrors, and lastly the mirrors, this is the order for anything in the car, get the manual at volvotechinfo.com, i'm not sure about the heated mirrors, probably yes but ask the dealer or check the junk yard for cheaper mirrors, back pumps, they are called tailgate struts-they are easy , if the back gate is extremely heavy, then both are gone, if kind of heavy one is gone, good idea to do both or you can try one side and see if there is improvement if not make sure you put the one you just took off on the other side, you don't want to throw away a good strut.
