rear window demister problem

Faolchu

Folks have a 2007 Nissan Tiida and theres a problem with the rear window demister. basically it doesnt work, when i press the button on the console nothing happens.



I spoke tpo Nissan and they said the whole switch unit (circled in red) needs replacing . they quoted me €500 :eek: so I'm thinking i may be able to get one in a breakers, are they interchangable with say a micra/almera of the same year?

I imagine Nissan would suggest that.
Perhaps having the unit removed and inspected and the circuit checked (i.e. fuse/wiring/relays) first by a competent auto electrician first would be a more cost effective way to go.
Its not uncommon for main dealers with access to their own parts network tosuggest simply chucking parts at a problem at YOUR expense rater than spending a bit of time diagnosing the problem.

Totally agree.
