Heated washer jet question

Madderz · 23rd September 2018, 20:29

Evening all

I fitted my replacement bonnet this afternoon and its got heated jets fitted, I've traced out the wiring in my car and plugged it in.
My question is, do they work with the heated window circuits or is it part of the 'winter pack' that needs activating?

They're wired the same as the mirrors. If you look behind the o's side indicator, you might find a green? plug wrapped up, plug & play if you're lucky, if not, have a read of this https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=155938

The jets were part of the + pack which included a bbus & xenons with washers

Cheers for that Ron!

Some interesting reading there, what a daft idea to have them permanently live

Mirrors are on constantly too

Pointless

Although most of my heating elements are gone due to the mirrorcators

Hi everyone sorry to butt in lol but I didn't know if our wing mirrors are heated? As I don't think mine work? I know it's a daft question but How can you test if they are working? 🤔
Again sorry for butting in.

Just start the car, wait a few minutes and the mirror glass should be warm to the touch

Pop the mirror glass off & you'll see 2 spade connectors. Unplug the wires & clean everything up.

Does seem silly having them permanently live when you only need them when the weather is cold, I would have thought it would have made more sense to wire in with the HRW or the windscreen demister.

I did swap out the driver's side mirror glass on mine as I found it was poor at heating - I used an infra-red thermometer to check.
