These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Folks - looking for some ideas here. My rear window heating element only stays on for about 1 minute before switching off - other than that it works fine. This behaviour started about a month ago - previously it would stay on for the expected 12 minutes or so before switching off. I have replaced the relay with a new one and checked the fuse but no change.........anyone have any ideas on where to look next? Thanks car is a 2001 C4 manual
