   Hi guys, my heated rear screen doesn't work. The light comes on but nothing happens. Except sometimes the connectors on the back screen smoke. Also the washer jet won't work on the back. It just comes out the front screen.
   
   And on a side note my car is in limp mode, so aside from takin the battery off to see if re setting the Ecu solves it, any help would be appreciated.

   This may sound incredibly stupid, but are you actually turning the rear jet knob? Not just pulling it to use the front jets.

   Pretty sure he wasn't taking the piss bud. Quite a few people don't do this.

   Not sure about the rear window but there could be something blocking the pipe or the jet? Get an air line to blow through it.
