Peugeot 208 Rear Window Heating Issue

Hey, I'm having an issue with my 2023 Peugeot 208 (electric engine). The rear window heating isn't working. I get an error message, and the windshield defrost seems weaker too. Could a dead battery cause this?

I had a similar problem with my 208. Have you checked the battery? A heavily discharged or defective battery could be the culprit since it affects the power distribution to things like the rear window heater.

Thanks! How did you figure out it was the battery? Did you notice any other electrical issues?

Well, the auto defrost was acting wonky, plus I got a general 'low voltage' error on the dash. Honestly, I took it to a workshop, they confirmed the battery was toast. Better get yours checked.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a shop, and you were right, it was the battery. Cost me 290€ to replace, but at least the rear window heats up now!
