    i can't see how you could wire it up wrong.... just pick 2 random wires, and if it isn't warm, then try swapping 1 wire for one of the other 2

    Technically you shouldnt feel it 'get warm'... its only to get the surface a touch warmer than the dew point/defrost glass.

    Much like your heated rear dosent get hot to the touch

    Both sides are separate circuits (there's not one for each side, they are interlaced incase one circuit fails, you still get the effect on the whole screen).

    It doesn't matter which way round you wire them, hence why they are not labled or colour coded

    The people who supplied the screen should of included wiring instructions.

    Ahh, that makes sense.

    Doesn't explain why mine has shagged itself though
