heated front screen

[mostin]

Hi, the front screen on my connect only heats up on the drivers side and not the passenger side, does anyone know how to fix this, and if its a blown fuse where is the fuse located? Thanks in advance

check the wiring/plugs at each bottom corner under the scuttle

[tottespurs]

YOU HAVE 2 FUSES ONE FOR EACH SIDE THEY ARE BEHIDE THE GLOVE BOX

what if only a strip about 6 inches wide (right in front of me on the drivers side, naturally!) isnt working? is that a fuse or is the screen element shagged?

[Icurus]

That would be a broken element.

[WINDSCREENGUY]

element shagged needs new windscreen and are expensive unless you go through your insurance

get this quoted 176 for a new front heated screen yet last year i paid 180 for a new front quarterlight. WTF?

[WINDSCREENGUY]

thats cos you got well had over on the 'quaterlight' ( its a called a vent by the way) surley you must off had it fitted out of hours?? for that price

[clarkster]

probably the bloke fitting it was talk sheeite. national windscreens fitter who also had a garage at home with an "evo" with 450 brake and a "cossie" for weekends. i'll take his prices with a big pinch of salt. it was done on the insurance so god knows.

My mates jumbo had a 6 inch strip go off, so back and forth to dealers about 4 times if memory servers before they admitted it needed a new screen, the van was still under warranty, is yours, if not do you have windscreen cover for damaged screens, IE cracked smashed etc.
