Front and rear heared windscreens not working

[Rfoster2387]

Hi guys i’ve just bought a 2012 ford mondeo estate, 2.0 tdci zetec business edition. I’ve just noticed that the switches for the front heated windscreen and the rear heated window are not lighting up when pressed! I’ve checked the fuses and all seem ok. Has anyone else had this problem? Or can point me in the right direction. Thank you

How's the battery? It may just be the charge is too low.

Not To sure on the battery! I’m guessing its not been changed since new

Eh? The battery charges every time you drive the car lol.

It's probably been sat on the forecourt for a while and lost a bit of charge so may just need a good run down the motorway to charge the battery up again. I'd start by checking the battery voltage and take it from there.

He said "changed" not "charged"  (I've also made this mistake several times on here over the years!)
