Default rear demister not working fuses ok

Hi guys

As it says really, the demister isn't working, checked the 20A fuse under the bonnet and is fine. When pressing the button the light comes on and you can here the click of a relay. I can't be certain but i think the mirrors don't clear either. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Also the rear screen itself looks fine no breaks in the element and the connections i checked today.


cheers in advance

Neil

It's protected by just one fuse? You sure?

Can't help with the relay, but apply a circuit tester to both ends of the element, where the power is connected, see if you have a live.
