Rear heated screen has stopped working

Post by akuchanny »

Hi guys, I have a front and rear heated screens in my minor, and over the last two days the rear screen has just stopped working. The switch still illuminates but no demising at all.

It's a Charlie ware jobbie, so not exactly sure how they are wired but there are two relays on the front bulk head.

Any ideas where to start digging?

Start by checking for power at the filaments then work back from there....

Hi guys after many months of chasing the issue I found it to be the inline fuse holder was causing the problem as it was not pushing the current through to the screen from the was switch/ relay. Replaced it and have been fine since.

Thanks for the help.
