Help


What is the route for the Heater wire It seems to run from the door Into the rear corner panel then I think it runs along the roof and down to the relay in the drivers footwell

Is this correct ????

The fuse blows every time the switch is switched on so after replacing the relay I am looking to replace the wire run I think the wire has erthed out along the run

Am I looking in the right area???

Cheers

Not sure about your wiring route, but don't forget to consider the mirrors are heated on the same circuit.

My rear window never worked until I knocked my drivers side mirror glass out on a tree whilst laning, I realised that the heating wires were not connected - connected them back up before replacing the glass - and now everything heats up as it should   :D

It's just something else for you to consider.  :wink:

Also rather than run the wire through wherever it goes, drop a wire from front to rear first over the seats, and connect it up to test first, could save you a lot of hassle if it is the wing mirror

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
