If it's the black one it's the same as the r21 (ignition lock)just swap em over and see if it makes any difference

Unfortunately the problem of the heated windscreen, er, not heating, is quite often down to a failure of the heating elements within the screen - only option is to have the screen replaced.

Switch it on with the ignition and put a test lamp or meter between the screen terminals in the corners of the screen under the bonnet,and earth.
Listen to the relay first to hear it click,if it doesn't it may be faulty or not recieving power.
