Fuse 20
Relay 4

Can be a bad earth near or on the rear screen.
I have added an extra earth as I find it often improves the performance of the heater.
Check with a meter if power is getting to the rear screen.
If I remember correctly on mine it’s earth on the drivers side, power on the passenger side.

Had this on the wifes estate when we bought it...it wasn't a fuse or anything like that :)

It was simply that the solder connection had broken off from the screen at one end....easy to re-solder on an estate...not so easy on a saloon though ;)
