Guys as above

I tried to put the heating on no luck. I also tried to adjust the wing mirrors no luck.
I have checked the fuses and they are fine

Both are fed with power from relay K7, which is switched by the starter motor. Relay K5 (windows and roof with the doors closed) is also controlled the same way, so if they are working OK, then the starter motor connection probably is OK as well.
Fuse 10 (reverse lights, etc.) feeds the control circuit of K7, so check the reverse lights are working, and if not, suspect damage to the wiring to the reverse light switch, under the car.
