Just checked my handbook - says they come on automatically when a certain temp is reached (no idea what temp though) !!

open circuit means a break in the supply of power , maybe the wires are chaffed or broken? ... - .- -.

Take the glass out and test by supplying 12v if they warm then the glass is fine and the real fun begins. The two cables run in through the door behind the door card to their own connector IIRC. From there they go into the door loom and then into a whole army of cables FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

So, if we are above a certain temperature, they will not work?
