« on: February 14, 2007, 21:20:10 »
anyone know how to connect an early disco heated windscreen, it's not a bonded screen and it has two connectors on the top by the mirror and one connector on each side, any help appreciated.  i'm thinking a relay (100 amp) and power from the fuse box switched using the same switch as the rear screen ?  do i use all four connectors ?

The heated element is split into 2 halves, so one pair of connectors are earth, the other 2 are to the relay.  In practice LR used a momentarty switch and latching relay with timer, so the heater stays on about 8 minutes IIRC.

My 93 disco has got a screen just like the one you describe. It has 2 black strips across the top of the screen. I thought it was for an internal aerial, which switch activates it?

There should be a momentary switch with an arch shaped window on it.
