X300 Heated Windscreen Connector Location?
I'm curious about the front heated windscreen harness connector is at? currently my front heated windscreen barely works, i suspect its due to corroded connector.
Does anyone know the exact location of this connector is at? is it behind the A-Pillar or...?

The connector is at the base of the windshield, in the engine bay. You might have to remove the plastic trim piece that goes under the wiper arm to see it. You'll see 2 heavy wires at each bottom corner of the windshield, follow those and you'll see the connector. By memory, the wire from the windshield is about 10" long and then it joins the body harness.
I believe there are relays for the windshield too, once for each side ( the circuit is split in half, dividing the windshield heat into right and left sides). It draws a lot of power, make sure the alternator is up to scratch and the belt is not slipping. It helps to rev the engine a bit too, mine used to have the voltmeter drop when I turned the windshield on at idle

Hi I have a windshield which is not heating at all, it may be the screen itself, anyhow I would like to check all possible problems in the hope of getting it going , is there a check list of possible causes, ? I'm a complete novice but I'm making progress!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks
