Heated front screen half working
I noticed this morning that only the drivers side of the screen cleared and the passenger side stayed frosty
Duff screen
Are the elements fed from both sides so perhaps the connection behind the A pillar has come away
TIA

My 12MY had this, it was a blown fuse. Probably due to fact I fitted cheap LED interior bulbs the day before I needed to use the screen.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I had same problem. Discovered it a couple of months after I bought the car. One of the two fuses was missing. Fitted fuse, problem solved.

Both fuses were missing out of mine. Never did find why, fitted two new ones and everything worked fine for all for the time I had it.

Dependant on what year they are not like a normal fuse, they are a small cube shape about the same size as a dice, they are located in the main fuse box under the bonnet and to the top left side closest to the windscreen. Here you go
