V70: Electrical - Rear window heating

Auldgit · Dec 10th, 2023, 12:53

Hi all, in the recent cold snap I noticed that the heating elements in the rear side windows (both sides) don't seem to be working when I activate the rear screen heater, (which works fine). Is there a separate fuse for these or am I missing something else in the options etc?? Puzzled. AG

They don't heat because they are not heater elements! They are the aerial system for the radio. The shark aerial on the roof isn't for the radio. It's for the GPS.
