It works Yeahhhhhhhhh

I didn't relise it run with two relays one that runs the switch inside the car and the other for the power supply.

Anyway its works but it was just a £7.99 relay in the end and i just paid for a new window.

My wife is going mad but hey hoe it works.

cheers

Where is the offending relay located?

Its the fuse box in the engine bay its the red relay right at the top there should be a 30amp and a 60 amp fuse the big ones next to it. The 30 amp fuse is also the fuse for the rear window.

Buy the top of the fuse box I mean nearist the windscreen.

If you want will take a picture tommorow morning and load it up when i get in from work.

The relay is £7.99 from maplin you must ensure its a diode relay and not just the cheaper standard relay.

There is also another smaller relay in the same fuse box again red and its the one right at the bottom so the last red one. This one powers the switch inside the car so if yor lights on then this relay is fine. This relay on mine also works as the starter relay as this went about 12 months ago and it wouldn't start. You can pick these up on e-bay about £5

feel free to borrow my pic and circle the offending relays in paint or what ever

Do you still have the original parts you replaced? Stick them on eBay, get some of that cash back.

I have circuled the both relays and the large green 30amp fuse

Could replacing these 2 relays solve the issue of the re demister not working even if it the light on the button is not working?

Thanks,

Matt

It could do

But start at the element and work back pointless replacing bits at random until you find the fault

The light on the dash it not coming on though at all, neither is re circulation?

Why don't you just smash it? It's £75 with most insurers and has no effect on claims. I did this on a mk2 Punto as I wanted a spoiler, but the fiat one bolts thru the glass, so needed the sporting rear window.

check the wires are secure at the back of the switch bank.....
