Rear Screen Defroster & Boot Light Not Working


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

My rear screen defroster and internal boot light are not working.

Can anybody offer some obvious checks that I could do myself?

Where does the rear defroster hook up to the loom?

Is the boot light activated by a switch on the boot lid when it opens?? Where is that switch please?

Thanks

Hi guys,

Some of you may know my car has recent been in for repairs. I had the rear door and quarter panel replaced and so my boot lid and rear screen was removed and refitted.

I will be calling the garage that made the repairs today, however can anybody offer some obvious checks that I could do myself to save giving them the car for another day or so please?

Take the boot liner off, may of just missed putting the connectors back on.

If your handy with a multi meter, you can try this for the rear demister:

Other than that, you can see here that the wiring goes to the near side pillar, and there is a relay in the engine bay:
