Kadjar rear window heating issue

Thanks for the quick reply. The auto defrost seems a little slow, yes. So, you think a weak battery could cause the rear window heater to fail entirely and also impact the windshield heating performance? Is there any way to test this without special equipment?

That's what happened to me. The rear window heating stopped completely, and the windshield heating was weak. I didn't test anything myself; I just took it to a workshop, and they confirmed the battery was heavily discharged and likely defective. They replaced it, and everything went back to normal.

Okay, that's very helpful. I will take it to a workshop and have the battery checked. Your experience gives me a good starting point. Thank you for sharing.

Strange. I had something similar with my Kadjar, though I can't remember the exact error code. Does your auto defrost work correctly? It might be related to the battery. When the battery voltage is low, the car often shuts down auxiliary systems like the window demister to save power.
