Fiesta Mk6 front heated screen

[peter212693]

Hi guys

Quick question, the Mrs picked up a 58 plate fiesta Mk6 today which has the heated front screen button which lights when you press it and makes a little electronic click. The question is, is there a way of testing this it its not misty lol! Reason I ask is on my focus you can see the wires in the glass but on this Fiesta I cant seem to see and wires in the glass.

Have they changed the design? Or has it not got a heated front?

Cheers!

Great, i really dont think there is any in there ive looked really hard!

Why would this be then?

Im absoluty fuming! There is definatly no heated screen, no drop in revs or voltage when pressing it on. We have just bought this car today and didnt think to check this as I would expect it to be heated if it had the button!

They should have been standard as its the climate pack which in cluded it!

Where do you think I stand on this?

All the other windows are the same other then the windscreen

Just removed the A piller to check, found the connector with a small bit of ribbon thats been cut from the original screen I could scream! This was one of the main reasons we choose this car!

Have you got a copy of the advert? If so and it claims heated screen, the ball is in your court!

I have a copy but it doesnt say in there exactly "front heated screen" but does have "Climate pack" which includes it as standard.

It was from a leasing company, they sell on their old cars when they get new ones.
