Default Ford Focus ST170 Front Heated windscreen not working

Back in the winter a stone chip in my front windscreen turned into a nasty crack.

Before this happened my heated windscreen used to work and when i pressed the button i'd get a light indicating it would be on.

After this crack it no longer worked so just blamed it on the crack.

I've just had a new heated windscreen put in and this still isn't working.

I've checked the manual and there isn't a fuse or relay which is marked as "Front heated windscreen"

There is however:
Fuse 49  Rear Defrost
Relay 25 Rear Defrost Heated Mirrors

Does anyone know if there is a specific fuse or relay for the front windscreen? Or have fixed this problem?

Thanks

You checked its plugged in properly? Not uncommon for the terminals to corrode and drop off.

Do you get a 'click' when you switch it on? If not then the relay is not operating. Also check the said connections.
