Heated Rear Window Relay - Mark - 04-11-2014
Went to use the rear window heater yesterday to clear condensation, heard the relay click when pushing the button but it didn't work, neither did the heated mirrors. Today I pulled the relay out and there has been some burning around one of the pins.
Is it likely that there will be more damage to the wiring or something, or could it be a case of it's just the relay that is broken so put a new one in and it will work again?
Thanks

That's not great tbh. The wiring is probably fine, but is replace that relay socket personally.

Would a new socket require soldering in? Where would be the best place to get a new socket/relay - scrapyard?
Thanks

Ive got a scrap car at mine I can cut it out for you and send in post along with spare relay.

normally with sockets like that you should be able to push the metal spade connectors out of the plastic surround so no soldering tobe done

I'll probably try and get a relay locally to save paying postage for now (or maybe borrow one out of the parent's ZX if it's the same relay
), to see if it works and if not then I'll look into other issues and replace the socket so that would be useful depending on price, I'll let you know

That's helpful, should be easier to replace than I thought if that's the case and I decide to go ahead and change it

replace the socket and the connectors as the reason the relay burned is a loose connection
so replace all bits
