Heated Front Screen


Recommended Posts

hi guys,

just had my front windscreen replaced earlier today (got a stone chip the other day that lead to a 12 inch crack :angry: :tsktsk: ) and wondered if anybody knew of a way to check that the heating element in the new screen is in good working order???

the wire from screen to plug are connected but that doesn't neccesseraly mean its working. just wanna check they ain't fitted a dudd'en.

cheers

How do you turn it on?

I got my windscreen replaced a few weeks ago (again a stone chip, 6 inch crack) and haven't checked it's working because I didn't know you could turn it on and off.

You can't turn it on and off as such.....it comes on automatically when you start the car up.

@ colinbarber, i'll give that a try in the morning. thought that'd probably be the answer but wasn't sure if it would actually work.

the mirrors are on all the time and I presume the front screen is as well.

all depends what age of vehicle you have. If your rear demister button also has a picture of a mirror then they are both turned on together. Early models have the mirrors on all the time.

On the early models I don't know if the front screen is on all the time like the mirrors or, as I expect, it comes on with the rear heater.
