Post by leftofcentre on Mar 2^nd, 2006, 10:25pm

Having checked fuses (intact) and all wiring etc, i still cannot get the drivers side Heated Screen working. Any ideas?

Maybe the element itself is broken? Probably a stone chip or similar?
Should be possible to measure the resistance through the element with a multimeter. If it lets current pass through, the element should be alright.

Most probably the element,seem a common problem on these and they are advancing in years,maybe a stonechip has broken the element some place?
Need a multimeter to check the resistance througth the heating element to prove it.
