There will also be a relay somewhere. Get a multimeter and with the
switch ON, check there is 12V getting to one side of the coil and earth
on the other. The connections are usually embossed onto the relay cover.

On one side of the make contact you should also get 12V and a few ohms
to earth on the other side, which will be the resistance of the screen.
If you can't see that, then the wiring into the screen is faulty.

Light doesn't work in ours either, but the heater does.

How's your reversing light?

The OP doesn't say which Micra it is, but the K11 (bubble shape) has a
habit of fracturing the loom where it goes into the tailgate, due to
all the flexing over the years.
I've just repaired one where neither the rear screen heater or number
plate light worked.
Had to pull the loom through a bit and reconnect all the wires.
That doesn't explain the indicator light not working though, unless
it's a coincidence.

Didn't know that, ta.

I don't think the reversing light has worked on our K11 since we bought it
~3 years ago. It's got a switch at the back of the gearbox that I've tested
and which appears to be doing nothing. The strange part though is that the
switch also indicates neutral to the magic box but this appears not to work
too. The car doesn't seem to suffer for it, which makes me wonder why the
switch is there.

Just thought - maybe that's for the autos?

Hi friends. My problem seems the opposite. Just bought an old 1999 V-reg
Micra Profile 1.0 and the fascia swithc light comes on but the heater does
not seem to work. At first glance the connections at the window look ok, and
the fuse looks fine. First thoughts are the relay (wherever on earth that is
to be found!). All help appreciated. Stormin.

Most likely point of failure on hatchback HRW's is where the wiring
passes through from the body to the tailgate.

Hi Chris, thx for the initial suggestion. Also I meant the the first thread
message mention the heater working but not the fascia switch, while my
problem was the opposite. Thx again.
