Well, we were both on the same track a few weeks back so I was chuffed to bits to see you had taken the bull by the horns. I abandoned the in-built auto switch off prototype as it was getting far too complex to put it out as an easy fix.
Well done with the mod N |

If you did this a plug in / splice in kit, I'd definitely buy it!! Top work.

I must admit having the rear screen coming on does cheese me off. Electrics are a bit beyond me when it comes to diodes etc. Clever mod, well done.

Just read this in Rave:
"Automatic operation The HRW also operates in an optional automatic mode. When the engine is started and the BCU receives an engine running message on the 'K' bus from the instrument pack, the BCU monitors the ambient temperature and the engine coolant temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 10°C (50°F) and the engine coolant temperature is below 40°C (104°F) the BCU will automatically energise the HRW relay and illuminate the HRW switch LED and operate the HRW timer for the appropriate time (dependent on external ambient temperature) or until a HRW OFF condition is encountered. If the BCU senses a default engine coolant temperature of 50°C (122°F) and/or a default ambient temperature sensor value of 11°C (52°F), the BCU will continue to operate the HRW on these values although automatic operation will be suspended. On high line vehicles with ATC, automatic operation will also occur if any of four fresh air or recirculation fault codes are active. The BCU uses the information received from the ambient temperature sensor, via the instrument pack, to determine the period for which the HRW is to operate. The engine coolant temperature is ignored in this instance. This automatic operation will occur to prevent the windows misting if the ATC ECU cannot correctly control or establish the status of the recirculation flap." Notice it says optional, so how does one turn it off? Last edited by neilbaker86; 22nd January 2014 at 00:46.. |

well worth doing IMO.
Try repairing ZTT elements when they go around the edges. - cant be done due to the heavy tint...... I fact try finding used tourer glass with intact elements

There are errors in some of the Rover literature, features that didn't make production etc. I suggest that this became a standard feature and not optional

update
update. The original design of my mod appears not to workproperly . So be advised I will make revisions shortly. The mod I have done means that the indicator lamp for the hrw does not turn on but the hrw does still come on. Only noticed a few days after I did the mod. Dont drive my car that often.
I will update the pics and wiring diagram once I hav the time to have another look.
