Hi Guys,

When I try to turn on the rear windscreen heater I press the button in and the light comes on but as soon as I release the button it goes out and the window doesn't get heated? Any ideas? Had a look at the fuses and havent got a clue which one it is as I can't relate my fuse box to the one in the bloody manual!!! I know slightly retarded of me!

Cheers
Steve

If you can be arsed to sit around for a little while, hold the switch in and see if the screen warms up.

Well checked the orange relay and it didn't smell of burning and my lighter works so I don't think it's that, looks like i'll have to get a new switch to see if that helps?!
