Help Heated Windscreen

[kertrats24]

Please could someone help i have two galaxys one 2.3glx 1998 and just got a 1.9 tdi 2002 both have heated windscreens the one in the glx was working fine untill i had it replaced by auto glass now it dosnt work at all but ive checked the voltage going into the screen and its good (13V+) and ive checked the ground by testing resitance from the windscreen input to the body and that seems ok.

 

The 1.9tdi has the same problem on the passanger side but the drivers side seems ok.

 

If any one knows what i should try next please let me know...

How long ago did Autoglass replace the screen? I had two screens in a row that had elements break down inside leaving large tracts of the screen still misty on both sides. Neither lasted a year and both were from Autoglass. The original screen had a crack so had to be replaced, there was nothing wrong with the elements. I had a bit of a spat with Autoglass but the second replacement was replaced at no cost. You have to watch out as their guarantee lasts only a year I think and depending when you have the screen fitted it is impossible to know whether the screen is working properly after a few months when the weather is warmer.

I was told that the fitter bends the glass as he fits it, breaking the elements. I mentioned it to the fitter that came out to my car and he wasn't convinced.

So if you are within warranty have a talk with Autoglass, the heated screen is not fit for purpose.

Good luck
