Heated front windscreen not working

Hi, Thank you for reading my post.

I have a 2016 Qashqai with a heated front winsreen, however only the passenger side works. I have looked at the diagram for the left hand side fused board (behind the glovebox), but cannot see a clearly labelled fuse. I note however that there are 2 fuses for RR_DEF, could these be the fuses for the 2 front windscreen panels?

Thanking you
Tony Campbell

You're in Guarantee period, so should get back to dealer asap.
Afraid this graphic very fuzzy; it seems to show 2 items listed against front w/screen defogger;
look in bottom right corner.

Hi Gel, Thank you for your reply, any idea where the Ignition Power Supply fuse No 67 is located?

Thanks

IT's amazing what you can find on the internet - haven't been here before


Here's a clearer version from https://cardiagn.com/power-supply-groun ... shqai-j11/ page PG-86

Try also https://cardiagn.com/defogger-qashqai-j11/ page DEF-34

That shows fuses P + Q which feature on PG-107:

From diagnostics there are two relays that are fed by F67 (10A). If F67 was faulty the front defogger on both sides would fail. There are two screen heater element 40A fuses for each side element via the relays but they are not numbered with an F prefix, simply P and Q and location not shown.

The two 40A fuses are fed directly from the battery.

This is according to US diagnostics which can be different for UK models.

I have similar problem. Left side screen defrosts in winter but right side remains frozen.
I've read that two relays and 40A fuses are behind left headlight in accessible by removing the front bumper.
Can anyone confirm please?
Also is this a common problem?
