Heated Front Screen

Check your fuses mate, they're fused seperately.
On the facelift - engine bay fusebox - LH side fuse 16, RH side fuse 14 - both 40A.
If you've got a pre-facelift you'll have to look in your manual.
HTH.

cheers guys ill have a look see the worst bit is

the passenger side actually has a fair size chip init and it works lol and the drivers side is mint and nothing lol

mines is pre facelift so will check my manual

My car also suffered from this before I bought it from my Son. We thought that a stone chip might have broken the element, but when it was replaced he said there was a sort of foil strip connector at the bottom of the windscreen that had come off on one side. Don't know if it can be stuck back down or if you can do anything other than to take the windscreen out to fix it. He did not try as there was a new screen going in.

The above is good advice and might well solve your problem - I only flag this up as a possibility if all else looks OK.

I have exactly the same problem with my prefacelift. I have heard that the fuse for the Windscreen is devided into two. One part for the passenger side and the other part for the drivers side.
I was planning to get a new fuse over the weekend.

I think the fuse is located behind the glove box.

im having a kind of similar problem, but is only the corners of each side of the windscreen, all the way from the bottom to the top that dosent demist for me when i press the heated screen button

its about 3 inches that dosent demist on either side

what could this be?

wow, why dosent it just go all the way across the windscreen

it leaves quite an irritating blindspot in certain situations

Its just the way they are manufactured, they have been the same on all fords for years?

I had the same problem about 9 months ago, car was 30 months old
Left side of windscreen stopped demisting, checked fuses and OK
Took it to my dealer who diagnosed that the electrical connection had sheared or had become detached from the glass
They fitted a new windscreen under warranty

like what philjb said, theres 2 element strips that plug in under the rubber seal by the windscreen wipers, have a look at them and see if you can see anything.
