heated rear window
Please can anyone help me?I have a problem with my BX's heated rear window.It stopped working about a week ago,there are two connectors,one on either side of the top of the hrw,the left one is live,tested it with a 12v tester and all the elements are live,although it's still not de-misting.However,when the right hand connector is connected,all goes dead,any ideas please?Thanks
I bet this problem belongs to the "classic" R/H side rear lamp cluster cavity wiring corrosion problem.[}:)]
From inside the boot press down the steel clip, and remove the complete R/H side rear lamp assembly.
You'll probably encounter general cable/connector corrosion disaster at your first glance on the cavity behind the lamp assembly. [:(]
Patience, time, a couple of standard spade connectors & cable bits will soon clear up this mess. Unscrew the chassis connection nut, clean well for corrosion, and use CU-paste on reassembly. The multiconnectors on the lamp assembly should have an overhaul too, to ensure tight & clean mating of the contacts [^]
