  22. Many thanks,I have a multimeter,but am sorry to say,do not understand it.I have a simple light up screwdriver with an earth wire attatched.my car is a 1990 super sprint . the last car I touched was a sprite in 1970 due to company cars . the black loose wie gets lost in the loom .if I conect the 2 wires ,the blue live screen wire with the dead black loose car wire can I try it without sparks or damage,. The light on the screen switch works ok .again thanks
  23. Autoglass just fitted new screen and left the blue passenger side Caterham screen wire dangling. This wire becomes live when ignition and screen switch on, fitter couldn't find the wire to connect it to, although there is an obvious loose black wire nearby coming out of the wiring loom with a bullet connector on the end, this wire stays dead. Do I connect the blue and black wire together. Fitter said connected drivers side wire ok. I am not technical, but want to get the screen heater working without damaging anything.Thanks in advance.
