Help with installation / diagram

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi,


I am after some help with a heated windows installation / diagram - grateful for any input.

Unfortunately, the company supplying the installion went bust and I have been left with a system that doesn't  work (incorrectly designed).

We had a local electrician do the first fix wiring based on the diagrams but he says what has been sent won't work in it's current state and he doesn't have the relevant expertise to adjust it.

We live in a rural area and electricians are not that common especially for something as complex as this.

Rather than post up the diagrams and go into too much detail initially, I just wanted to know if this is a place to ask for advice and if not could anyone point me in the right direction. e.g contact details for an electrical engineer.


Thanks.

    OK, let's go back to the beginning. I have a heated rear window in my car. Fords (and the products of subsidiary companies) have heated windscreens. Why do you want them in a home? ?




    Thirty odd years ago the lad who was my best man at my wedding worked in the tool room at Triplex, he was involved in setting up  to make heated windscreens for cars, which never caught on.


    The heated windscreens had had many more heating elements than the rear screens, these heating elements were also thinner and crimped to form wavy lines. The idea was that although there were more wire elements and they were closer together being thinner and crimped they were less obtrusive.


    They didn’t catch on and become popular because drivers didn’t like them.
