Jonn completed the wiring of the heated rear window on our 1968 Mini Cooper S. He routed the wire from the rear window across the bulkhead to the relay, carefully soldering a terminal in place and shrink-wrapping all connections for protection. The wire was then taped to the loom for neatness and stability, and the relay mount was secured to the inner wing.
In the boot, the wire was extended and routed along the floor, positioned safely out of the way and secured to the pipework. The relay was connected, and using a multimeter, Jonn identified 12v ignition live feeds at the fuse box. Both wires were connected to the relay and switch accordingly.
After turning on the ignition, the heated rear window was tested. It appeared to function correctly, with visible condensation clearing when Jonn breathed onto the glass. The air filter, bulkhead matting, and washer bottle were then refitted, followed by the spare wheel and boot floor. The car was started and the window tested once more, confirming that the system was working as intended.
