Rear screen demister does nothing, though the tell-tale lamp lights and the 40-amp fuse is OK. No apparent damage to the filaments. Anyone know where the relay is?

The relay is in the bsi unit.it is a non replaceable part.I would check power and earth supply to the glass,it may have broken wiring into the tailgate.

I was about to suggest the tailgate to body wiring. If you pull back the rubber boots on either end of the loom you may be able to see a broken wire.

Do you have other problems round that end of the car - bulb faults? If so it could be an earth issue.

I shall have another look today. However this is the SW model, with the lifting-hatch in the tailgate, so there may be more strain on the wiring, and fewer points where it can be examined.

No known elec faults, but I shall check lights, etc.

Thanks for suggestions.
