A work colleague has just had a Monsoon hood fitted and the rear glass screen has a heating element in it. Any idea where can he get the the wiring / button for the element?

 

i DIY'd mine.

other than that - try your luck on ebay. otherwise it's probably a dealer job!

 

Hardtopguy does them

 

Info please

I STILL need to sort this out on my S

 

was a long time ago, but long story short:

- find fuse & relay(??) in xx fuse box
- find & locate 3 pin connector to the left of the fuel tank (accessed from boot), matching wires as per wiring diagram.
- find & locate x pin connector under center console (00my JDM), and fit your own switch. i extended these wires to put an illuminated rocker switch beside the 12v socket at the rear of center console

schematics:
- rocker switch controls DIY-added relay
- 12v feed to heated screen = battery > fuse (25-30amp recommended) > relay > heated screen.
- other terminal on heated screen = down to a good chassis ground to complete the circuit

notes:
- i cant remember the exact details, but i do have a DIY-fitted relay next to the fuel tank.I had to run in a separate fused 12v 30amp feed for the actual heated screen feed.
it was almost like the 3 pin connector next to the fuel tank is relay/switch power only, and not 12v device power.


i've just re-read this post, and i can see a wiring diagram will be soo much better. i'll sketch one up as pictures are worth a thousand words

 

Cheers!

 

Hi there, i have the kit, but no idea where the "x pin connector under center console" is. Mine is also a 00my JDM. Im proberly being blind, anyone have a photo of what im looking for?

 

loftust - just installing visio and will see if i can diagram it properly. if not it'll be a hand-drawn scanned image

lukedon - i'll pull up my console later today to see if memory served me correctly on my last post

if you really want to be as simple as possible, then you could go battery > fuse > switch > heated screen > ground.

wire colours for switch-only connectivity:http://s652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/v...=IMAG0008-1.jpg

it looks like the center-console wiring is 5 or 6 pin.
2 for the switch (as i've used)
1 for dash illumination feed
1 for heated screen on
and another (i presume) as a ground.

 

This is really handy thanks!

So I have the switch already. Where do I get the relay and the fuse holder from? (sorry I know this has probably been said a hundred times but it would be good to have it all in one thread!)

cheers
