Heated defender windscreen fitment question???

Hi folks.
Been thinking about putting a heated windscreen in my old girl as she's got a few dinks in and does need changing very soon anyway.
The question is.. how do i wire it up?? what's needed as i'm sure it won't be straight feed from the battery lives without having to alter the current!!!
The rear door screen is heated but if i simply spur into this power from its switch, i'm not sure that doing so won't cause some issue with the power level to the rear!!!

Over to u :scratching_chin:

oh, and looking for a screen also should anyone have one

you will need a seperate feed, if you tap th rear screen, all you will do is keep popping fuses.

Thanks Tim, but would it just be a straight 12v feed through a separate switch or would it need some sort of power adjustment etc

That'll require a hell of a switch so use a relay. Before you start check to see which model you have as some have two positive feeds in whilst others have a single one. I bet (please correct me) that it will require a 70amp cable.

I've thought about this mod for getting going on a cold morning.

Keeps us informed.

I'm no auto electrician and not even sure i'm thinking on the right lines, so hoping for some suggestions as am sure others have done this.
I'll take a look at the wiring when i can and see exactly what i have right now.

Thanks.

you should use a relay could be timer but std 4 pin one would do ,could then be triggered by rear window switch as well then

You need to use a timed relay or will burn out the element in the front screen !

Thanks guys.
Looks like i'm gonna have to sort this soon if i keep her or even if i sell her.. but that'll be with another standard screen.
