Hi Folks,

I have read several threads of people having front heated screens not working and several descriptions of where relays and fuses are located. But I have yet to see actual experiences of people that had an issue and what they did to fix theirs?

My heated screen does not currently work, but the switch lights up. I am getting a new screen fitted once it arrives but if this does not fix it. What next?
I am wondering what the most common fault is that gives this trouble.

So a quick reply from those that have fixed their trouble and what the issue or issues were if possible please?
1. Left Relay
2. Right Relay
3. Left Fuse
4. Right Fuse
5. New Screen
6. A combination of the above.

Cheers for now
Dave

 

At the windshield wire connections you should see a pulsed voltage but not a sudden steady voltage as this would put too much of a thermo stress on the glass and shatter it . If that is good you can remov e the connector on the windshield and read the resistance through the gold heater substaight and is very doubtful the windshield is bad so don't order the windshield as that must be expensive to ship .

Thanks for that. I had not read anything about checking the screen connector.
Screen is already ordered and being paid for by insurance company, so all good on that front. But I bet its not cheap as its coming in from UK to New Zealand!!

 

Lady P, that link is to an F Pace picture? I was hoping it was about fixing heated windows. But I bet that window full of sheep gets pretty heated!!

Even better as the chap I bought the car from has sorted it out for me in the sale agreement. So his insurance company have picked up the tab!

My windscreen has arrived from UK! Just need to get booked in to fit it now.

If the heated elements still dont work, it will be time to dig deeper and find out why.

Still interested to hear what the most common issues people have experienced?

Cheers

 

Sorry to revive an old thread, but did anyone figure out why there was a problem? My heated windscreen will not come on and the button does not light up at all. 2013 XF and the windshield was replaced
