Help, The rear window heater is on constantly, it dosn't switch off manualy by pressing the switch again nor automaticly after four mins as it should. I thought it was down to a relay so I replaced it, still the heated window stayed on. Then my wife came home one day saying the rear passenger heating, rear wiper and rear window heater were not workin. I checked the fuses and found a blown 20A fuse no4 which is the rear passenger heater, Not having a spare I removed the one for the heated window to replace the blown one but when I tried it I found everything was working again including the heated window which now had no fuse and is still not switching off. Only thing I can think of is a wire shorting somewhere. Would anyone know the best place to start looking for the short or have any other explenation or thoughts.

Cheers in advance
David

Hi David, Check the wires in the rubber gaitor that goes from the tailgate to the body, the off side one, there could be a break in there, it is common. I had a problem with broken wires here. They are a pain to get to, good luck:zx11:
