12V Car Heater Banggood Fan Helping Demist Windows - Test
I thought I would show you what I used to keep the rear window de-misted when it was not working, a small little 12V plug in fan, that you can also use to get instant heat too on cold mornings. I do not use it to clear the front window as it's not powerful enough, however I demonstrate that the little heater still can melt the ice, which sometimes I have on the inside of my windscreen!
What I used it for was to help with clearing condensation on my broken rear window ( this is now repaired thankfully). I also like to plug it in on cold mornings to warm up my body and hands!
The Company Banggood provided the fan to demonstrate:

just epoxy everything around it.
@@icebreaka1969 , just be careful as some holes need to vent, so don't epoxy everything
just tried the way as you show in the video, it work for few minutes, later afternoon, it does not soft close again, then I pull the same fuse, it work again, 3 hours later just came home after work, it is not working again, is possible the battery causing that? or something else?
@@icebreaka1969 nothing to do with battery, you have a cracked PSE or broken impeller on your pump, most likely the PSU. You can fix it the way I show in this video.ua-cam.com/video/dPhSTnUtCdY/v-deo.html
Ich habe das System extra gekauft um meine Injektoren, bei einem W203 anzulernen. Das funktioniert nicht, was auch ein Außendienstmitarbeiter von iCarsoft bestätigt hat.
I bought a L320 sport, when you drove the front passenger wheel would brake up hard by itself, without touching the brakes. I got the steering angle sensor calibrated it fixed the problem. It was for sale for two years. Great video, I could have done with this info a few months ago. Thanks for the video.
thanks amazing I am so pleased it worked, thanks for any Super Thanks you gave !
Yep my lad had his ac control fail in his audi and one of these got him out of trouble gets a bit of heat into the car to help get things clear
they are not a replacement but do help a little
What i like the most is the aircon exit in the glove box so you can keep drinks cool in the summer iff you got the aircon on 👌👌👌

Great review. I needed to replace my old OBD2 code reader and decided to go with this. I have a current issue with a Silverado P0326 knock sensor and want to see what the PCM sees before I start ordering parts or rebuilding the engine🥵
@@greenegfm1 you'll save money on the long run, I've just used mine to pin point an ABS sensor and 02 sensor, otherwise it's guess work
Straight to the point 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Well done sir👏✌👍
@@ioan1ionut many thanks
Followed your instructions and worked. Thank
@@nigelthomas2108 amazing, well done you! It would be better to have the bulb tabs flat, without dimple, this is how Mercedes do it!
why would you need to register a battery? What?!
Modern cars often mean you need to tell the ECU that the battery is new, this then reduces the charging current. IF you do not, it will shorten the battery life dramatically.
What software do you recommend to reset battery settings?
@death9079 it's in the diagnostic tool,
Couldn’t find that fuse in my W213
The error on my diagnosgtic tool is "can bus" the symptoms are the same are yours "air suspension inactive" and some lights on the dash are on. Why you swap the new cover with the brushes to the old unit?
In the video I explain this, one side of the SAS has the electronics and coded to your car, the other side has the brushes, this the part that wears. By replacing just the brushes avoids the car having coding issues.
@@GrooveOn As the used ones on ebay are very expensives due to the delivery and import charges, I ordered one after market from Aliexpress. If I install the complete new one, what I have to do for the car recnonize it?
Start your engine
@@radboo4384 the engine was on the whole video
@@GrooveOn but not the demister?
@@radboo4384 again, if you watched the video I explained right at the start it was broken, I was demonstrating what I did with the fan
You know what's illegal? driving with just a peephole in your window from a partially defrosted window until the rest clears up, reckless driving with heavy fines as a mild punishment and running someone over at worst. Don't drive your 2 tonne car before you can clearly see out of all windows folks, and for gods sake, brush loose snow off of your roof! I don't care what you say you use it for at the end, you suggest using it as described in my comment at the first part of the video.
@@toxicteabaging I think you missed the point, I don't drive with just the small clear post of the window, it was to show that it starts to work on the inside even there is ice on the inside. You may not get this where you are. I predominantly used the heater to keep my body warm
Variations on this heater have been around since cars were invented. They are limited by the capacity of the cigarette lighter socket power and fuse. The best solution to window defrost is to run the engine with the screen blower on high, get off your sorry arse and scrape the glass. A pair of thermal gloves might save your pinkies. If you own a Ford with an electrically heated windscreen, use it. It's total BS that all cars don't have this for the front as well as the back screens.
If you watched the whole video, you will see that I used the heater for demisting the rear and keeping my body warm, it just so happened on the day I filmed there was ice. I did not use it defrost the front screen, it was only demonstrating the heat output.
Love the georgious car😮. Nice
@@davidmiller1151 thanks very much! She's old, but I love it
Defrosted windows but empty battery... I remember a colleague using a small fan heater at 230vac using an extension cord...
Yes, best start car I find when using it I generally only use it for five ten minutes to keep my body warm then the car is heated
Temu pesh. Don't bother.
There is always al danger of your doing too many short journeys that the battery won't be charged enough during the journey to make up for the starter motor. Idiot that heater before starting the engine significantly increases that risk as you'd need a longer journey to make up for the power consumed before the regime was started
Fairpoint, I drive about 1 hour each way so good amount of time to charge. I don't use the 12v heater all the time, just the first 10 mins to get warm mate !
Going for a drive with only a part of the window de-iced is dangerous, and it is also illegal. Defrosting all the windows with this small heater will take a long time, and it will drain the battery very fast. On the Banggood website i can not find how much power it uses from the 12V socket, in most cars that socket has a 10A fuse, the maximum power is then limited to 120W. With only 120W it will take forever to de-ice all the windows.
Plus, there will be other things possibly drawing power from the same circuit, so 120W is a very theoretical maximum.
So you may have missed the point of the video towards the end I explain that I use it for dominantly for keeping my body warm helping with a broken demister at the back I don't use it for clearing the front windscreen
@ I'd rather let the money go towards fixing the broken demister.
@@hadtopicausername I've actually done a video on how I fixed the rear demister. I just show in the video how I use the 12 volt heater before I got it fixed
WHY NOT JUST START THE CAR AND TURN YOUR BLOWERS ON
@@irenedunne352 it was, but it takes a while to heat
Because it's the fuel used while going nowhere
@herseem if you watch the whole video I use it to warm me up and broken rear window not the front mate
@GrooveOn i did actually, but oh many cars the rear window heater works but the front one is grim the engine only do it would be the front one most want to defrost
Should flatten your battery nicely
Especially a cold battery.
Hello . It have topology? Thank You So Much for all the information.
Hi there, I am checking this for you.
@ Hello Thank You So Much!
what a JOKe !!! just get the ice off and start the car .In the time you have been talking a car like this Merc should have dont 30% of the problem
@@carforumwanker you didn't watch the video properly mate, the ice is on the inside as my rear window heater had broken.
I just saw your UA-cam name. Says everything about you.
@@GrooveOn just start engine and use cabin heater . And stop buying cheat tat
I have few problems on my W210. Do you think it will find the faulty ?
I had a W210 E Class lovely car, you'll probably need a round 39 pin to OBD2 adaptor. The port is in the engine. amzn.to/40jEsm6
@@GrooveOn Do you think it is worth buying a tester worth €220 if I plan to have the car for more than 3 years?
Sodden, mine is a small bird pool. Thanks for this, will try the tips out.
No problem 👍
I've recently melted the internals of two cigar lighter plugs powering a refrigerated cool box. I am therefore wary of overloading these sockets. What sort of current is it drawing?
THIS..... cheap tat from aliexpress will soon melt
A kettle of Luke warm water melts all the ice on my windows followed by a wash leather on the inside works for me 👍
What do you do with the kettle? Pour the hot water over the window?
@ would have thought it was obvious
That's a great way to risk cracking your window on a very cold day due to the suddent tention difference you create over a large area of tempered glass with that kettlewater. Might not have happened to yours yet, but there is a probability it will, and you would know as much if you went through basic thermodynamics physics in your basic school system.
@ Is that a yes, because if you're pouring hot water on a frozen windscreen that'd mark you out as a bit speshul.
@ it quite clearly states Luke warm water not hot water
wow we really are living in parallel worlds. my recent vid was like minded. have you tried putting a nice lady in the passenger seat to warm you up on those cold 🥶 winter mornings??😂
Unless the word around, I have to make do with the heated seats!
Cheers for the info. I might buy one for my Citroen van as the windscreen takes forever to defrost. Great outro tune by the way 👍
I think for the money they are handy. I believe they are reduced to less than £10 now
Thank you, so much we have the same Problem and I hope we will be as successfull with the sealing like You. Best regards from Salt and Germany.
@@andibacknang8976 very welcome
I wouldn’t be operating it for too long with ignition lights on without starting the car or expect a flat battery.
You're a legend mate. Methodical and pragmatic. My issue is that it is randomly unlocking while the car is running. I'm thinking it's a similar issue but the inverse, the switch is being triggered without being pushed. I'll order a replacement and follow these steps to investigate and replace it.
Must be the engineer in me ! let me know how you get on.
@@GrooveOn Finished the repair yesterday. So, after taking the old one apart, I found the issue wasn't the switch, but the connector. One of the prongs had essentially broken off and was shorting the circuit, causing the top tailgate window to unlatch randomly. After unplugging the old switch, the female connector was missing a prong, so plugging in the new switch didn't work. What I ended up having to do was cut off connectors on both sides, the switch and the vehicle side, strip the wires and then solder them manually and use water-resistant heat wrap on them. After that, works perfectly and should be nearly impervious to water damage in the future. Job done.
@@joshuapinter well done mate, some good money saved there !
Three cheers for Bagpiping Andy (I think that's his name) for making those piston seals available......look him up.
@@iandennis7836 I got the seal kit on Amazon amzn.to/4jaYPKY
Great video, I was only a little confused because the Clock button in mine isn't on the left. Then I realised that's because you have the steering wheel on the right, and they switched the buttons as well :D
