The screen is split into 2 halves for the heater. Theres a connection behind the scuttle panel on each side. This could have got corroded on the faulty side or simply have come disconnected.

Lo WFC,
With you having a heated windscreen how do you find
when driving at night, oncoming cars' headlights. I have a heated front screen and yeah great during the winter but when driving at night the screen creates a massive 'star effect'. Its irritating me something bad.

some focus have two fuses for the windscreen,left and right. i think its fuse 14 for the r.h.side and fuse 16 for the l.h side so check these first.
