If I follow that chart correctly you subtract 1048576 from your existing code, I think

My rear window heater keeps blowing the 10a fuse. It'll work once, then it blows and won't work again. But when it does work it seems to last longer than 2 minutes as stated here? I think it's a heat insulting screen as it had the blue tint off it. Cars a w12 too if that makes any difference.

Is 10 amp rating what the book says ....sounds a bit light to me , usually with heated screen you would get the heated mirrors running as well , not sure if the mirrors on the same fuse , normally heated screens around 20 amp fuse rating . Could be a special element for low consumption though I suppose .

Try turning it off and see if rear screen 'on time ' goes any longer

There was a factory 10amp fuse in it (same as the others). Could always have been replaced at the dealers I suppose. I did think it was maybe a little low tolerance but didn't want to risk putting a higher one in incase I would wreck something else.

10A is tiny. Should be 40A fuse in the relay and fuse carrier right hand side in luggage compartment.

Just to add to this , tried my rear screen today and it stays on for approx 3 minutes , in that time it has cleared it pretty well .
