Hi, the small rear window that is supposed to demise on my mk3 estate doesn't clear. When I got the car the plug was attached but I knocked it off. I put it back on but it has never worked since. I can't be sure it worked before I unplugged it though.

Is it possible I simply put the plug on the wrong way or would that blow a fuse or something?

I have no idea about wiring issues so don't want to simply try turning the plug around...I don't know if that's even possible.

Any suggestions where/how I could start looking for a problem?

I'm assuming it works when I press the rear heated window button and that they share a fuse. The rear window works fine.

Thanks folks.

What small window heater ?

The rear passenger side one. It's heated the same as the rear screen but isn't working. I believe most of the estate models have them.

It's an aerial not a window heater
