Mine don't work is this a common problem the button on the dash lights up but the window Wong heat up is there a solution ?
Mine did this a while back mate, turned out to be the relay.
Where is the relay located ?
By the fuse box under the steering wheel mate........it's the orange one top RHS
Is there anyway I can test it without replacing it
Not a clue mate, I'd ruled out everything else when mine went but there was no power getting through to the screen so changed the relay and it sorted it........got mine from a breakers for pennies.
Digging up an old thread but this is now one of the last 3 things that need repairing so I wanna sort it out
The switch lights up when depressed
The relay clicks when I press the switch
Can anyone tell me where the connections are for the window so that I can check if its getting power I can't see them anywhere
I ain't got heated mirrors on my car I repaired the door loom in march I think it was well replaced it not repaired it
The wiring connectors for the tailgate are actually under the roof lining near the back, might be a bad connection there somewhere.
Oh right ill have to look there then where are the ones for the strips in the glass though
Erm, follow the lines lol, they've gotta be at one end somewhere!
Its easy to see on SRowells as his had a new window, looks like they bent some of the metal to get to the copper ends.
They arnt on the glass anywhere I can see unless they are below the plastic panel at the bottom of the window
Hmm, I can have a look at my.old tailgate tomorow, plastic is already off anyway. But I've got an idea its one side, could be wrong though, might have been a different car lol.
If you could look I'd appreciate it my old cars have always had a spade type connector on the glass
Have you had chance to check this mate ?
Have you checked the loom from body to tailgate, the wires in there break all the time like the door looms
I can't see any splits on either side of the tailgate
My rear wiper and rear washer don't work either

The rubber boots wont be split, be the wires broken inside....
If the wiper dont work either, I would head for fuse or wiring in those looms
I'll check all the fuses tommorow
I pulled the gaiters back I can't see any splits in the wires
Checked my tailgate today, the copper tabs are underneath the plastic at the bottom of the glass.
Cheers Tom ill get hold of a multi meter at the weekend and check see if there getting any power through to them
If your tailgate plastic is like mine it'll be easy to remove, there was only one screw left in it!
There's about 5/6 screws in mine ill have a look over the weekend and see what's happening behind there
