Don't have heated screen so must be ptc but not sure where it is as never heard of one

It’s a heater coil in cabin air box to help temperature rise in cold cabin, there was a mod by Land Rover, condensation could drip onto coil causing a short, leading to a fire

Does it actually need this

Pull the fuses and run without, does help on a frosty morning to get warm air to screen quicker !

That's what I though might fix it one day. I had already melted all the fuses no power going to wires so will do for now. Can't afford to fix it at thd minute. Thanks for your help
