The heated windshield never worked on my VNL, I've had it a year. The windshield cracked and just got replaced, I hoped it would fix it, but no. The switch on the dash lights up, the fuse is good, there must be something else in there. I replaced the lock module when I got it, I'm hoping one of the other modules in that area is for the windshield, does anyone know?
Or is this function controlled by the body control module?
Windshield wiper park heat module location?

Heated windshield I didn’t know trucks had that I’ve heard of wipers . Sounds like a cool feature I’d suspect if it’s like a heated rear window they have wires going to it . I’d suspect they cut them while cutting out old windshield in the past.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
These windshields don't get cut out, they use a rubber gasket. Repair people said that was in case windshield needed to be kicked out. The exposed wires where they connect to the windshield are good, the rest of the wire is hidden behind the a pillar plastic cover.
The windshield has those lines like a rear window defroster has in a car, they run down the sides and across the bottom. -
Did you end up solving it?
I have a 2023 vnl 860 and I don’t think the windshield heats either, just wanted to see before I go to the dealer -

Even checked that those wires connected properly and received power when turned on.
Still when touching the heating elements they are cold, as cold as the rest of the windshield ♂️
Maybe I’m expecting more than what is actually needed. On my Dodge Durango the heated rear window visibly melts ice, while here it’s kinda anticlimactic imo -

Mine was actually working, it's just such a low temp you can't feel it. Use a non touch laser thermometer to check it.
It's really rather useless. Doesn't do anything at speed in the cold, mostly for helping the windshield defrost and free up frozen wipers in the morning.Siinman Thanks this.
