Default W reg ford fiesta Ghia front heated windscreen issue!

Hi,

I have a W reg fiesta Ghia and when I switch on the front heated windscreen, only the passenger side half works, is there a way I could fix this myself with basic tools and next to no experience, or is it something I'd have to have looked at at a garage?

Any help would be welcomed,

cheers.

sounds like the connecting element has bit the dust as its pretty common on heated screens
