Heated Screen Switches

[chazhead]

Hi all

 

Used the heated front & rear screen switches last night when driving in the rain, both turned on and turned themselves off when the screens had cleared.

 

Went to use them this morning and neither switches will illuminate, am I missing somthing here or has somthing gone pop?

 

Cheers.

I'm sure someone will be along soon to give you a better answer, but on ours if you have the aircon switched on; then the front screen will not activate, not sure about the rear???

Failing that then hopefully its just a blown fuse - sorry I don't know which one.

I'm presuming that the engine is running while you are trying to activate them? mine only come on with the engine running, not when ignition is on the 1 or 2 position. (this is definitely the case for the front heated screen - not sure about the rear) Failing that, try the fuse as a first check ;)

Mk1s shouldn't prevent the heated screen being activated when the air con is on. Mk2s automatically activate the heated screen when the air flow is routed to the windscreen.

Thanks for the replys.

 

Engine is running but still no lights, will check fuses next just seems odd that they should both go when they run through two seperate fuses/relays.

 

Wondered if there was a temp sensor or summit that stopped them coming on.

My MK1 won't run both screens and the rear heater but other than that all works fine.

on mk1 both heaters control circuits are done by one 20 amp fuse - sysptoms are you push the switch - you some times hear a poping noise - light comms on normally and goes off normally but after that switch does nothing - lights will not come on

 

I have had this happen two times - just been to shop to buy more fuses

Scooper, that is it exactly, in which the six squillion fuse boxes is this 20amp?

 

Thanks

All sorted, 20 amp fuse, no. 9 in the central fuse box for future ref.
