first check is it illum at the button when u turn it on/use elec tester as well/second check which fuse controls the heated rear window and third use elec tester on the connectors where they join the window it can only be a fault in one of these areas

without putting a tester on it nothing really as it could just be the light inside the switch..first thing to do is test the connection at the rear window to see if it rcvg power/if it is then it is the element in the window broken somewhere.if no power then there is a break betwenn the swith and the fuse or between the fuse and the window..u really need a tester

ok cool, it\'s just the way it was mentioned suggested it might be a common fault or something, I\'ll get testing...

Does the heater light on the dash come on when you ress the switch in ? Have u checked the connector under the switch is plugged in ? and that the wiring on the windscreen is ok ?

My rear screen works - but very poorly indeed. It\'s almost not worth bothering turning it on!
