Problem with the rear window heating on a Citroen DS5 petrol engine built in 2013

Hey, I drive a Citroen DS4 2011, so quite similar. I'm not a car professional, but I've had some experience with car repairs. I once had something similar with my Citroen and the heater wires were faulty. After some troubleshooting and testing at my garage, it was determined that the heater wires needed to be replaced. I paid 585 euros for this, it was quite expensive but has worked perfectly since. Could you tell me a bit more about your car? For example, has similar work been done on it before? This will help me to give you more details and help you better.

Hey, thanks for your answer. My DS5 has now run just under 99870 kilometers. The last service was only a few months ago and there were no problems. Before that, the rear window heating wasn't repaired or anything like that. So this is the first time I've had this problem. I'm going to ask my garage whether the heating wires could really be faulty. That could be expensive, though. Thanks for the valuable tip!

No problem, that's what we drivers do, we help each other! Of course, with so many kilometers on the clock, something can always break. But who knows, maybe you'll be lucky and it won't be major damage. When you're at the garage, have them check the control unit and the fuses. My old Citroen blew a fuse once and that caused a similar problem. Could be a simple fix and save you a bit of money! Hope this helps. Let us know what the garage says! Good luck!

Hello, thank you very much for your advice! Having the control unit and the fuses checked is definitely a good idea, I wouldn't have thought of that myself so quickly. Of course, it would be great if it's just a blown fuse and I don't have to dig so deep into my pockets. I'll report back as soon as I get back from the workshop. Thanks again for your help!
