Here are the instructions for replacing the ribbon
1. Open bonnet
2. Remove rubber covers on window wipers. Expose nuts
3. Using a set of grips or spanner undo bolts
4. THE WINDOW WIPERS.
To remove the wipers, push down on the join and pull the wiper arm towards the engine bay and lift up. x2
5. You will see around about 8 clips holding on the plastic trim that the wiper supports come through. Remove these clips
6. Remove plastic trim, this just peels off.
7. Now you have exposed the window wiper bars and heating elements.
Take a look on the driver side and you will see a cable hanging loose and a black tab hanging from under your window.
8. Disconnect cable and cut open the opposite end to expose the cable inside. You will see small square of treated copper.
9 scrape off the silver to expose copper.
10. Get some 2.5mm stranded cable around 10 inches is enough. strip 10mm of insulation away and using a solder iron tin the end fully. Heat shrink can be added to this cable.
11. Tin with solder the exposed copper on the small square of copper.
12. If you can clamp these 2 cables together while you solder then do so as it can be tricky. If not get someone to help you.
13. Heat both parts together and add extra solder to join both parts. Leave to cool/set then slide black rubber over the joint and tape closed.
14. Using the same method as you have just carried out, peel back some of the black covering to expose the silver looking copper. scrape away carefully a section to expose the copper and tin with solder.
15. Strip around about 15mm off insulation from the other end of the cable and tin with solder.
16. Clamp these to sections together or get a friend to hold.
17. Apply heat from the solder iron and add extra solder to get a good connection. Leave to cool and set and then tape exposed joint.
18. Plugging the cable back in and test window to make sure it now works. This can be tested by boiling a kettle and letting it sit in your car.
19. Once you have confirmed the window heater works unplug and reroute the cable so it is kept as far away from the wiper bars as possible. Reconnect the plug.
20. It is now time to put the plastic trim back on.
TIP make sure the trim is fixed into the runner bar first before putting clips back on.
21. With the trim all secure and clips in place, rescuer the wiper blades. The same rule applies when putting back on as you did taking off. but push the wiper up the window.
22. Job Complete.

Brilliant Video, all of us Ford focus fans really appreciate your videos and huge money and inconvenience saving tips. Great drivers cars, and the RS mk1 is astonishing to drive
Brilliant. Your advanced drivers tip of turning on the engine and turning off the blowers first worked for me! I was being brainless and doing neither of these and wondering why heated window did not work. Thanks posting appreciated!
Got this problem on my Focus. Thanks for your video it was very helpful and appreciate you having to freeze yourself to make it!
my focus does the same apart from the drivers side heats up but the passenger side doesn't, gonna give this ago, great video m8😊
Great to see you back, Paul. Hope all is well.
Cheers Steve! All good thanks!
Well done and a very helpful vidio👍👍👍
Thank's for a great explanation ! Appreciate the demonstration ,very helpful . Think my 17 plate Focus has the problem you show in your later video . Keep up the good work !
Thanks Paul
You just blew my mind!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! That oil light was driving me nuts!!!!
brilliant thanks STAMPY!!! TOP MAN...VERY HELPFUL
Watched your video on windscreen heater not working R/H side with that connection inside car. Went and had a look at mine it was hanging off lol so it's same in a kuga working again cheers pal bin doing my head in for two winters sorted 👍
Thanks for sharing mate :) I don't know how to fix cars but I'm going to teach myself ;)
No problem 👍
Great job. Thank you. My wife has a fiesta and the heated front windscreen only partially works. My garage checked the fuses and they were ok. Apparently the car had a replacement screen ( not Ford) and the garage said that was the problem.
So helpful, thank you :)
Thanks for this video, I was ready to launch a brick through the windscreen and claim it on the insurance
Thanks 👍🏼
Its good that fuse. It breaks to half.
I swaped lef to right and ordered new one. Worked and broke. Works when shortwired so need to check if there is a shortage.
Happy New Year Paul, will we be seeing you with mowers later? We do miss you with them. Stay Safe!
Hopefully Keith ! thanks pal
Thank you, newbie car owner here…sat for 15 mins convinced the front windscreen heater was broken…engine on…cleared in seconds 🙈

Paul, there is no need to take out the 8mm bolt as its only purpose is to hold the fusebox housing to the cars chassis. You only need to release the cover latch to remove the cover, no tools needed.
Aaaaargh!! thanks lol. What a muppet
It's called the pcm
You good MEN!
Thanks
Thanks for the video mate, very useful.
I gotta another problem with my FIN number on the windshield, its clogging up and its back to being totally dry in good weather. I have no water inside, literally no moisture in the cabin floor or whatsoever. Should I be concerned that the windshield is defective or is this only harmless condensation?
Thank you, my fuses are good but I what I want to know ,do they also have a relay in the fuse box under the bonett
You could swap the fuses round and see if the other side clears
I did. See my latest vid for how I fixed it
Hello mate, I have a 2013 Vauxhall Corsa which doesn't have a heated windscreen. All I can do is turn the heater on full blast but funnily enough, it is the passenger side that clears first!
It's annoying!! I have to get directions from the Mrs lol
@@stampysrandomreviews It could be that our cars are made abroad where they have the steering wheel on the left hand side.
Good vid but incase you need to go in to fuse box again. No need to loosen bolt , it just unclips .
It’s same with mondeo? 2010
I hate those fuses with the clear tops! I cannot get them out to save my life. The metal looks good in them, not broken, but I still wanted to see if replacing my windshield fuse would make a difference.
Hi did this fix the windscreen? My heated windscreen is only working on drivers side
On my car 3 wires no heat middle on the front window screen and the same on the back
Weird. I think i've fixed mine. There were 2 wires to the rear view mirror. one wasn't connected. I connected it now the heated front screen works.!
I`m not sure is it necessary to unbolt that screw...
We have just bought a mk3 Ford focus and 100% of the heated windscreen is not working. fuses look good, any other suggestions please. cheers
Make sure it actually has a heated screen fitted and not a replacement non heated one. Then watch this ruclips.net/video/mwCEflRYG2w/видео.html
@@stampysrandomreviews yup definitely aheated one like my other focus. Can see the little black lines running down the glass. My titanium clears instantly you can kinda see the black lines pulsing ,my wife's zetec same year is doing absolutely nothing. Cheers
@@neilwest9345 See the vid I sent you
@@stampysrandomreviews ah yes I watched that video too. Both the black bits feel quite sturdy but I can check. Do they just pull down? I tugged on them a little and they didn't move. cheers for the help.
@@neilwest9345 do they just pull down?????? i cant get mine off
I think mine is now fixed. I found a wire to the rear view mirror wasn't connected properly. I pushed it back on and now the heated front screen works perfectly!
hi, I am having the same issue with my ford fiesta, I am planning to check the fuses first but could you explain what you mean by the wire in the rear view mirror? great video btw
@@armza9975 I'm uploading a video now showing exactly this and how I fixed it!
how do i take off the black things on top of the windscreen above the mirror??????????//
slide down
oki doki
@@stampysrandomreviews
ok my fuse box does not look like that on my 2014.
Mine also not. Did you fix the heating?
Ha ha if I had only waited 5 mins
No worries thanks for watching
Good vid. But to be honest just starting the car and putting the blowers on will clear it in roughly the same time, good video though buddy
Multimeter would give 100% results for testing fuses.. come on man 🤣
I got it working! Good luck with yours
