Heated Windows Not Working: Seeking Advice for 2013 Dacia Sandero

Fault stored

Heated windows without function

Hey! I'm having a bit of an issue with my 2013 Dacia Sandero, Gasoline engine, clocking in at 8984km. The heated windows seem to have stopped working and the fault indicator is flashing up. Given a bad run-in with a mechanic last time, I'm a little anxious. I'm thinking the windscreen heating might be impaired. Has anyone experienced similar problems, and how did your mechanic handle the situation? Looking forward to hearing from you guys! Cheers.

Hey there! Yep, I've had a similar issue with my 2010 Dacia Logan, diesel engine. Turns out, my battery was weak, almost empty, which made my heated windows stop working and the fault indicator was having a disco party on my dashboard. The mechanic confirmed that a weak battery can result in different electric components not functioning properly, including the windscreen heating system. So, it was a relief to find out it wasn't a serious issue related to the car's heating system or any other major part. Ended up getting a battery replacement and everything went back to normal. No more issues with the heated windows or the fault indicator since then. I'd suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic and get the battery checked out, could be as simple as that. Catch you later!

Hey there! Ah, your disco party remark gave me a chuckle, been there! You know, your issue with the Dacia Logan sounds bizarrely similar to the trouble I'm having with my Sandero. So, it was the battery causing all that chaos, huh? That's a relief to hear, I was dreading a major repair. Speaking of repairs, do you recall around how much the battery replacement set you back? And just to be sure, there haven't been any other surprise problems since the replacement, right? Thanks for sharing your experience! Talk later!

Hey! Glad to hear my disco party analogy got a laugh out of you! Life's too short to not find humor in these car troubles, right? So, about my 2010 Dacia Logan's battery replacement, it ended up being a bit of a dent in the wallet. The total damage came to about 290€, if I remember correctly. But honestly, the peace of mind knowing that it was just a battery issue, and not something serious with the heating system or elsewhere, was priceless. Since getting the battery replaced, no more nasty surprises. And hey, I've got some more good news for you. I had the exact same concern about the functionality of the windscreen heating but it's been working just fine since I saw the mechanic. So, if you're experiencing the same issue, there's a good chance you'll be back to enjoying toasty windows on those cold mornings soon enough. Catch you on the flip side, and keep me posted on how it goes!

Hey! you're so right about finding humor in all this! Definitely helps to ride out the frustration I'm feeling. That price tag does sting a bit, but you're spot on when you say that the peace of mind is priceless. If it's indeed just a battery issue, I can certainly stomach the cost. It's really great news to hear that your windscreen heating is back in action and there hasn't been any other nasty surprises. Hoping for the same with my Sandero once I take it to the mechanic. Thanks for the detailed insights, really helped to put things in perspective. Will definitely keep you updated. Stay frosty! Catch you later. Cheers!
