Hey,

My rear heated screen has never worked.. I have got a new switch on there but is there an easy way of testing whats up, as in the screen itself, the metal things attached to it,fuse, etc?

Thanks... not really into electronics, F at GCSE electronics (cough cough)

You can get a car bulb and some lengths of wire to test the circuit by taking the wires off each side of the screen and connecting them into the bulb using the wire to extend the connections. That way you can find out if it's the circuit or the screen which isn't working and it's much easier to fault trace the circuit using a bulb than a screen heater.

As Dan says and make sure you are connected to earth on drivers side and feed on the passenger side (unlike mine was *cough*)

Also check if everthing else works on the circuit, I think it is horn and ermm..

Well check the horn works.
