W203 estate side demist not working?

[smeeeee]

Hi All,

I'm just wondering whether my side heated windows are working or if they come on under different circumstances to the rear demister, as they don't appear to be warming up when I switch on the demist.

Should I check a fuse? Is it on a different circuit to the rear window?

I haven't seen either of the two side demists working yet, car is new.

Any help greatly appreciated, Smeeeee...

Are you sure it's got side heated windows? Not saying you're wrong, but I didn't know that.
The 'elements' that you can see in the windows might be for the aerial.

Hi --I would confirm that on my 300TD estate that the elements in the near side rear side window are for the radio aerial. Hope this helps.

eeek

Thanks maties, that saved a potentially embarrasing call to the dealers

I thought it was a bit odd that both sides weren't working...
