heated windscreen

paulvasey · Dec 13, 2012

the first hard frost has revealled my heated screen isnt working, does anyone know which side the wires connect? i presume its under one of the a pillars? but which side? as im sure to take the wrong side off first

Don't know on the L322, but the 2 connections are in the centre of the P38 screen, one for each side.
Have you checked the fuses and relays?

Saint.V8 · Dec 13, 2012

Think there are two - one one each side....

There are wires both sides < remove airbag plastic cover you will find torx screw underneath un do this. Remove trim, be careful when refitting and line plastic tabs up on trim to body work as they bend over easy during refitting

i see if there are wires both sides does this mean it works on two differant sides? ie you could have one side working and the othere side not working?

Check insurance policy to see if your windscreen is covered ?

Then brick to screen

How unfortunate

paulvasey · Dec 13, 2012

not sure mine is covered but its not working at all so doubt it will be the screen?

must be a "common problem" mine is stripey

If the element is broken than it would probably stop it all from working

Is the heated screen button lighting up ?

paulvasey · Dec 13, 2012

yer, button lights up. but if it has two elements its unlikely they are both busted ?

paulvasey · Dec 13, 2012

my money is on the relay, i imagine it draws a big current and could easily cook itself

paulvasey · Dec 13, 2012

would a continuitey test with a multimeter work on the screen? or will the element be too fine?

Best check for voltage at the connections to the screen first
That will tell you whether your relays working or not
