    I had the issue on my focus after a windscreen replacement, basically the contact under the scuttle has likely seperated. It was fixed by the windscreen company coming out and soldering the connection back onto the ribbon.

    In my current Mondeo I have some chunks of screen sporadically throughout that dont clear, whilst the rest does, I think for me its a bad connection again, but I dont have the patience or health at the moment to try fix it :p

    Ironically mine had a chip repaired on the passenger side and that works perfect, however the driver side is fine and it's like a zebra crossing of heated and unheated pattern lol
