Hi new to the Landrover TD5, heated front screen doesn’t seem to activate, dashboard switch doesn’t latch or light up
I know (hope) it’s not rocket science but could anybody give me a clue where to start fault finding please?
Thanks in advance

Try starting with the fuse if the switch is not working it has got to be further back unless the switch has had it ( multimeter ) welcome to the forum

It needs power, power comes via a switch which powers a relay via a fuse.

Is this a factory fitted heated screen or has a previous owner fitted it ?
Welcome to the forum BTW

Has it got a heated screen? They were not standard on all, even with switches and conectors etc. It also could have a non heated screen fitted after a breakage. Look under the bonet to see if the connectors, conect to the screen.

It should be fairly obvious if it's heated. The elements are easy to see

Discovery or Defender?

yes it’s OEM and I can see the connections on the screen etc I think these were standard on the X Tech
