Nope, I've connected the three wires in this connecter to the corresponding wires in the 4 pin connector (excluding the cyan coloured one). ie red/black to red/black, yellow/black to yellow/black, black/silver to black. Additionally there is a black yellow which travels from the console switch which is a single push connector - I have connected this to earth.

TBH it could be working ... I tried the demister in the wife's car, and this didn't get hot to the touch - so I'm waiting for the right weather to test it really.

The fact that I've measured 14V on, 0V off on the switch is reassuring. If this doesn't work, I'll try joining the black, & black/yellow as you've recommended.

The separate black/yellow which I'm refering to can be seen in the left of the pic.


EDIT: looking at the colour coding on this pic - the implication is that the black/yellow & black are linked to the black/silver on the other connector.

Slightly off topic, but with the 02 and up is the defrost inactive when the roof is down?
And if so, how does it know?

I have been trying to find pictures of the new style demisterr connector 04+ models

I have an 02 and fitted the new style center console but as the connectors are different so is the wiring. My 02 switch has 6 wires and the new switch only has 5 wires.

The new style switch has symbols for heated screen and mirrors so Im thinking of sourcing a switch with only a heated screen symbol incase they have different wiring????

I have posted a couple of new threads on this but ideally I could do with an 04+ owner to pop off there centre console and take a couple of close up pictures of the connector/wiring???

It should only take around 10 mins to do

Anybody willing to help?

Before I start chasing wires, has anyone been able to confirm that each wire should be connected to it's corresponding counterpart on the other loom, and that the additional black/yellow should be connected to ground?

Should I ignore the other wire, which I think is the softop disable???

Jimmy - Any joy with the facelift centre console switch?

i've got my wiring connected, had to cut and join the corresponding colours together. one thing though, i havent fitted a relay, where does this go and how does it connect to the loom i've installed?
