R32 Demister Quick Question

[Damo Monster]

Hi there..

Im my R32, my rear window demister doesnt go.... now I've searched already and didnt get anywhere.. so bear with me.. I have pulled the switch out of the cluster, and tested it to be good, so i know its not the on/off button at fault... all of the wires etched on the glass are fine as ive tested them too... so there must be another part of it, like a relay or something, but i dont know where it is! any suggestions... the orange light doesnt even come on when the button is pressed...

Cheers,

Damo

possibly a fuse... but thats just a realllly random guess

ive had a bit of a look through the fuse box and everything seems sweet.. although i dont know specifically which fuse is for the demister as i cant read japanese.. but i am quite certain its not a fuse... there must be a relay or some sort of other control unit for these.. any ideas? esp if even the orange light doesnt go on the button...

heres a picture of the fuses translated from the workshop manual. May be of assitance in the future.

dunno if it helps but mine did the same thing since i bought it no light or anything then one day i was looking at pulling the switch out and just pushed the button in and out a couple of times and gave the button area a good hit and then the light started working and the demister has never missed a beat. So it was probably just a bad connection in the switch or maybe it hadn't been used for a while but thats what happened with mine. Its not hard to get the switch out and check the wires anyway just 2 screws i think but thats if u have to start checking power and earth at the switch and then at the demister as well.
