Problems with the window heating system in the 2009 Ford C Max

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2007 Ford Focus, I only have some experience with cars but I took the problem to my garage. They found that the heater wires were faulty, which was actually causing my windshield heater not to work. It cost me 585 euros to repair. Could you perhaps tell me how many kilometers your Ford C Max has run and when the problem first occurred? That might give me more clues to help you better.

Hey, thanks for your help! My Ford C Max has 106273 km on the clock so far. The problems with the heating first occurred the last time I went for a long drive. During that time, the heater suddenly stopped working and the error message was displayed.

Hello again! Your Ford C Max has quite a lot on the clock. My friend's Ford Focus had a similar problem and it turned out that the heating element was defective, which had aged and finally broken due to the high mileage. So it seems that such problems can occur with higher mileage. There could of course be other factors at play, but based on my experience I would say that it's quite possible that your car has a similar fault. I would definitely advise you to have it checked by a garage. Maybe you'll be lucky and it's nothing serious. Good luck with that!

Hi, that's very helpful to know and actually reassures me a little. The high mileage could actually be the problem. So I will follow your advice and have it checked at a garage. I hope it's nothing too serious and can be fixed quickly. Thanks again for your help and for sharing your experiences!
