You do realise that the rear demist system is on a timed operation? It will switch off after a certain time automatically.Mike60 wrote: 17 Jul 2020, 22:14 Rear window heater :
Two times I forgot switch ON and after returning to the car and turn on engine - switch remain in the same position - ON !
Indeed. Years ago now but I recall that they had to change all the taps in Swedish hospitals as they were made from an alloy containing Cadmium that leached into the water. An extreme reaction probably but better safe than sorry.bobins wrote: 20 Jul 2020, 10:09
'cos Cadmium is pretty nasty stuff. I come across it occasionally in old sites I visit for survey and conservation work - the general idea is that you don't disturb nor handle anything you think might contain old Cadmium![]()
In February, March i saw on my route ¬ 22 miles / 50 minutes, rear heater remain on ON position ( amber light and feel warm ext mirror ).GiveMeABreak wrote: 20 Jul 2020, 10:01 You do realise that the rear demist system is on a timed operation? It will switch off after a certain time automatically.
Second, if you leave the rear demister switched on and lock the car, then return later and start the car, yes, it will continue to operate again once you start the engine - but only for the duration of the timed operation - and will switch off again when it has reached the timed limit.
The system only operates when the engine is actually running - so no drain on the battery until the car is running. I'm not sure why this was necessary to be honest Mike![]()

I found wire from manual clima control switch directly to power relay ( 4 relay panel installed only 3 on back of control clima ).GiveMeABreak wrote: 23 Jul 2020, 11:44 Must be! That's probably the Toyota influence in it then as every Citroen I've owned since 1999 has had a timed heated rear window control - seems 1 step forward and 10 backwards!![]()
