Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / November 2009MK4 Golf Rear Demister Not Working
Hi all, The rear demister has stopped working. I've also noticed the dash button is orange regardless of whither it's pushed on or off. I'm going to check the fuse this weekend, any help/experience would be much appreciated. The Golf is a 2000 GTI 1.8T Thanks again > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks again Sounds like the button has gone? Prise button from the dash and test with a multimeter. Thanks, I've tested the switch and "SEEMS" OK. Rear demister and heated mirror fuses good too. I've read that the problem could be defective cabling between the boot and boot lid so will check that this weekend. Thanks again. >> Hi all, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Sounds like the button has gone?

The right side where the rubber ribbed gromit pops off easily and with all the opening and shutting of the boot cll break the wires, a bit of extra wires solder and heatshrink job done. Exact same problem on my golf. Once was the switch and second time was wiring had broken. A known weak spot in many cars from what I read aswell. Good luck dude >>> Hi all, >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> Sounds like the button has gone?

FOrgot to add one other possibility is the the actual rear demister element in the rear window itself has a broken gap or something, which I think you can get a fix pen at maplins or ebay to fix. But check the wiring first is free :) and an easier fix. >>> Hi all, >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> Sounds like the button has gone?
