got any ideas why part of a element might not be heating anymore? is it a three-part element or one element with three sections? my driver's side element isn't heating on the rightmost third. now you have me wondering if it isn't just simply delaminating

There are 3 prongs, I assume 2 hots and a ground, but I don't know that for sure. I think the newer type have two prongs. The element looked like the kind that defrosts the hatch glass, only much thicker. When I recieved my mirror, the glass that contained the heater element was cracked in a few places. I wonder if a crack could not widen and sever the element.
