Mk11 1.9tdi Heated Front Screen Not Working

[arryp0tter]

HEEEEEEEEEllo peeps my 1.9tdi seems to not have a heated front screen that works. the light comes on ans stay on for around 10 mins etc but screen when frosty stays frosty. read a bit in tech section on my old mk1 the screen connectores were either side of dash and behind interior light for earth. checked all this on my mk11 and no wires removed window pillar trims as well and nothing same with behind interior light so where are the bloody connectors please. i have checked the fuse box out and both fuses seem ok but till i find connectors i cant tell if i have a power feed or an earth.

only wire i found was what i assume is areial wire down drivers windsreen pillar . and yes before anyone asks i do have a heated front screen i have nice wavy squigly bits in me glass ( my old mk1 broke screen and i had plain glass fitted as was not paying 400 quid for heated that didnt work.

ok guys your help would be very valuable.

how long have you had the car?

just wondering all your serching could be in vain if the car has had a new windscreen fitted?

there will be a 2.5 mm single black wire in both A posts that feed the screen, the 0 Volt connection is above the rear view mirror, these are a known problem! as in the fitters forget to do them up or bodge them in place with a dab of screen sealer! if the screen has failed and its covered on your insurance well .............

I had this when I purchased my 2003 galaxy and it was wiring for the relay that controls the heated front screen.
