heated screen wiring...........HEEEEEEEEEELP !

[Tiki Al]

I have myself a nice new heated windscreen in my Defender, but it won't work because i don't know for sure what the wiring set up for it is :(

I have a wiring diagram for a screen with 3 connections on it but the screen I've been supplied only has 2 connections on it ( one either side )  The screen i have doesn't look like it had 3 either cos i looked over it very well before i fitted it !

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's going to get frosty real soon and I'm running out of ideas and don't want to blow it up !


Cheers

Hi Alan,

I too am looking for advice on wiring up a heated screen (for a 300Tdi Discovery). My screen has two connectors, one at each end. Auto-Sparks of Nottingham were really helpful in providing the correct connectors, Dash board Switch and Timer relay but I can't find any information on how to wire up the switch. There are five connectors, numbered 1 - 5.
If you find any information out could you please pass it on?

There seems to be quite a lot of dicussion on various forums regarding Heated Screens but no information.

If I find out anything I'll pass it on.

Good hunting!

Mike.
