Faulty relay (unlikely if it clicks but check it anyway), faulty wiring or broken elements on the screen.Check for voltage at the screen terminals and work backwards from there. ________________________________________ Rich |

They will only demist if the mirror glass is the correct type. If they've been replaced at any point with the wrong type then this feature will not work. Unlikely but something to consider if there is a fault with demist too.________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

theres a connector under the dash pass side by heater motor, think its red, pull it apart and check if its burnt out on one of the wires, cant remember wire number off hand, but it was quite a common fault. if it is burnt cut the wire either side of the connector and bridge around it, thats easier than trying to replace or repair the connector. |

Fuse? The relay will likely still click with the fuse gone ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once. It said if you don't want to end up in here, stay away from crime, women and drugs. Trouble is, that don't leave you much else to do, does it? |

Mine hasn't worked since I got it! Will check for the red connector. mine still clicks and it seems if I hold it in the light does come on although it's not very bright. It doesn't stay on though when i let go of the button. |
