Heated front screen

Hi guys, got in the car this morning switched on the heated front screen and about quarter of it didn't work on the drivers side the rest of the window de-misted fine. Any ideas ??

More than likely the heating element is damaged in the screen I'm afraid.

So a new screen is needed? It does have a stone chip in the middle of the screen perhaps I could get it changed

It's got power to it because it's working in part, but there is no way to repair it if the heating element is damaged in places. If you have windscreen cover on your insurance, it could be replaced if the screen was damaged by a bird strike or someone to that effect. Although it is unlikely to get replaced for a just chip........

Hi all,

Instead of starting another thread about heated front screens i'll just ask here.
Going off my pictures do you think there's something up with my screen? It clears some bits really quickly but not the others, they're kinda in strips

If some strips take longer, then they take longer.

If they never clear, then its broken

I've had heated screens for 25 years or more (originally on Fords). They all do that after a while and the only resolution is a new screen. RRS MY17 SDV6 AB

When I first got the current car, mine was the same. Turned out to be a fuse. Worth a check. Cheers,

My understanding is there is a fuse for each side so it could be that you have one bad side with dead elements but if the whole side is dead it may be a fuse. Of course, there could still be dead elements in that side too. Cheers,
