I'm confused how you would know both sides work in the warm. The heated front screen won't be active if the outside temperature is above 7oC

The Front screen relays are in the engine compartment fusebox.

Because if the windscreen is steamed up I turn it on and it works, as soon as it freezes It only works on the passenger side

Could it be that the driver's side is only working at 50% effectiveness?  i.e. warm enough to demist, but not warm enough to defrost.  Bad connection (live or ground) and it's only getting 6volts????  But that's a pure guess without attacking the connections with a multimeter. 

Is your Fiesta like the 2011 model or like the 2013 model ? Difficult to know which model it is with 2012 been the change over year.

This could be the handbook for your model:

See page 119 onwards for fuses and relays.

There are a possible 3 types of fusebox fitted !!
