Heated windscreen

Hi Guys, need to replace screen for dreaded mot, can get heated screen for extra £15 on insurance. The wiring is in place under bonnet, can anyone tell me the position of the switch & is it just a case of connecting screen & fitting switch? 1998 D1 GS.
Thanks for any help received.

Hi Dave, I can tell you that the switch is directly above (or below) ther rear window heater switch. Can't answer the second part of your question though.

A bit of dis-information above if u don't know don't bother.

The heated front screen switch is below the clock alongside the front fog lamp switch if fitted.
The switch position below the hazard switch is a blank, u will reqiire a switch, two relays (behind the passenger kick panel) and a fuse somewhere in the fuse box which is not listed as a heated windscreen was an option other then the ES and electrical options don't seem to be shown sometimes on my diagrams.. not that i'm that interested

hi, I have fitted a heated screen to my 2.5 td5 (was a standard screen), If you have the wiring already sited below the screen(large purple & black wires on both side of the screen)you will have the wiring plugs in the facia,the blank under or above the heated rear screen needs to come out,you will find a multiplug there,just plug the screen switch in,in the fuse box (engine bay) you will need to fit a relay,the fuse box lid will show the position,then you will have to take your'e car to the dealer to have the ecu programed to accept the screen I bought the relay & switch from a breakers at a cost of £10,and the dealer charged me £20 for reprogramming the ecu,hope this helps.

Thats not much help either..... this thread is for a D1 300 series NOT a D2

Hi guys, many thanks for replies, with electrics not being my strong point, i was thinking along the lines that with the connectors for screen being under bonnet & hopefully finding a connector at switch position. Are the relays specific to the heated screen or are they a standard relay? Is position for relays likely to be marked & also position for fuse? Told you electrics was'nt my strong point!
Want to try & sort this at weekend if poss.
Any help much appreciated.

According to my books you will require switch AMR5177 and a single relay.
The relay is just the standard 3 pole one AMR3773, the position of the relay is behind the glove box so have a look at the relay bracket and if there's a vacant position at the end No.5 with a black socket the relay could already be install who knows, the 7 mins or so timing is taken care of by the multi-function unit.

Thanks Discool, that great i should be able to follow that. Will report back when new screen is fitted, thank again.
Regards Dave.

Yes let the forum know the definitive answer on how to connect a heated windscreen as it's asked a few times and there's no "how to" as you may have found out and I've never see one.
