Rear window heater on 2016 Toyota Etios goes on strike: experiences and tips?

Hey, I had a similar experience with my 2013 Toyota Yaris. It was last winter and I noticed that the rear window heater wasn't working properly. Turned out the heater wires were faulty. It wasn't really a serious problem, more annoying because you rely on it in winter. To fix the fault, my mechanic had to carry out a check and replace the heater wires. You should make an appointment with your Toyota dealer to have the fault code read out and then they can tell you more precisely what needs to be done. Don't worry, they can do it! Greetings.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Sounds like that's exactly my problem with my Etios. Do you happen to remember how much you paid for the repair? And have you had any more problems like this since? Ciao!

Hey, sure, I still remember that! It cost me €585 to fix the problem with the heating wires! It may have been a little expensive, but since then the rear window heater has been running perfectly and I haven't had any more similar problems. So it's fair to say that the functional limitation of the rear window heater was rectified after the visit to the mechanic. Hope that helps you! Ciao!

Hey, thanks a lot, that definitely helps me. I think I'll probably have to go to a mechanic too. 585€ is a lot of money, but if it's fixed and everything runs smoothly again, it's worth it. Hopefully this time my visit to the garage will go better than the last one. Thanks again for your help! Ciao!
