Ive checked the fuse and that's fine. (fuse 25 iirc)

any other ideas?

Does it have a monster fuse on top of the battery? Otherwise, check the switch, the relay, the connectors, and even the element itself. Have no wiring diagrams to hand to be of more help - sorry!

ill ahve a look ontop of battery as hadnt thought about there only looked in manual and it said about fuse 25 in drivers side thingy.

any idea where the relay is?

Sorry to but in, If it is the atual element does this mean a new back screen, Mine sometimes works then it dosent and seems dead but when it does work i have about 4 line working on the bak screen :shock:

If the elements are damaged and you can find the break in the wires on the back screen, you can repair them with special paint that conducts electricity. You can also use this paint to repair circuit boards.

I bought a small tube of it back in the 1970's to repair the rear screen on a Fiat 127 and I think it was about £5, so it was very expensive for that time, but it fixed the problem! I've still got it and I used it recently to repair a desktop mains calculator where the printed circuit had worn away underneath a switch that slides over it to select the number of decimal places etc.
