Heated Screen Switch
One for the TD5 guys on here, I've ordered a Heated Screen switch and its arrived but it's not latching... I presume it should be?... Just wanted to check before going back to the supplier

Cheers

I don't think the switch latches. Instead, it drives a latching relay, which is in turn controlled by a timer. Darren

Mine latches, and if I remember correctly illuminates. Unfortunately that's all that happens as the heated screen needs repaired or replaced!

Nope, I'm wrong it doesn't latch, sorry

Thanks Guy's spoke to the supplier, Seems they've sent me a Discovery TD5 Heated rear screen switch instead of a Defender one...

Mystery sorted

Thanks

The timer unit is the same as used on the classic rangies (well, that's what I've got on mine). although mine has died, must get another sometime.

I might just get a generic one from durite, as the RR one seems rare and expensive. I also wired my heated wingmirrors into it (via a relay) so they come on for the duration of the screen, which is about 12minutes IIRC

The proper timers do come up on eBay for reasonable money, I've had two from there.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top
