So im also looking for advice.the loom is easy to remove, probably cheaper to get new screen rather than swap. or if you have a chip/cracked screen claim on insurance.i think a couple of cars might have the loom in the scrappie near me, might have a look on sat and let you know.

Markc Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Get a loom from a finesse or LX with heated screen.They come with the screen loom only and are not intergated with the heated washerjets or mirrors. (i have a later finesse and had already looked in to this) if you have the internal loom, the plug for the switch will be tapped to the heated rear screen plug in the dash. in the engine bay there is a loom connector where the abs unit normally fits and routes as stated above (wire to battery box is a thick orange with a green stripe wire) but you will also have a part of the addon loom or part of your existing loom (i forget which) that will bolt to both inner wings by the bonnet hinges for the earth also remove the scuttle plasic to show the connectors for the screen again on both sides.
