2020 Fiesta ST-line

I might be going nuts here but the heated windscreen switch is always showing as on. I think it was switchable off and on when I got the car but I’m not 100% sure

I’ve tried everything I can think of but it only goes off if you turn the whole heating control system.

Am I missing something?

Is the fan setting pointed towards the screen?

My bad.

It seems it’s not the heated screen switch after all but it is the switch next to the on/off switch.

It looks like it directs heat to the windscreen but you’d think you could switch it off but you can’t

Think that's the ventilation selector. The I/0 button puts the blower on, the l dial selects speed. The one with the screen icon directs the airflow to the screen, and there's a 'feet' button and a 'face' button. Usually selecting one of these cancels the other two. Also A/c, Recirculate and temperature.
Check your owners manual?

Will come on automatically when you're aircon is on but I've never had one that stays on all the time
