Side window demisting

[Daeths]

I have a 210 estate (T210 ?) on a 2001.

The rear windows in the boot have the rear demist filaments the same as the rear window. The rear window demists but the sides do not.

Are the sides operated by a different fuse or could it be something more sinister. I am assuming (dangerous thing) that the side and rear windows operate off the same switch.

Additionally, if I turn on the heated rear, does this turn itself off after a period of time ? Mine seems to stay on (never left it for more than 7/8 minutes though). previous Saab turned of after 5 mins.

Not a major issue, but I really am ironing out all the niggles thx to you guys and it would be great to tick another off the list.

I do not think that you have side demisters, any wires will be aerials, all demister circuits are on timers

Thx Malcolm, this would make a lot of sense.

On the plus side, at least I can tick another "made up niggle" off the list.

Thx again.
