I have a 2010 Forested, did not come with the factory heated windshield. I had the windshield replaced due to a stone chip. The installer noticed that it was wired for the heated windshield and it was replaced with a heated one. It does not seem to be working. Is there something else I need to do to have this work?
TIA
I don't know anything about it, but at a guess you might need a switch and a relay to turn it on.
I never heard about that. It wasn't offered as an option on the 2011 I got recently. There's heated windshield wipers - is this what you mean?

Heated wipers - correct! The area where the wipers park is heated, similar to the rear defrost. The guy at the auto glass shop pointed out that the wiring was in place if I wanted to upgrade the new windshield. I did opt for the upgrade but it does not seem to be working. Is it on the same circuit as the rear glass and heated mirrors?

That seems to have been part of the optional All Weather Package and, according to
Caveat: this information is for a 2008 Outback but there may be similarities.
My car has a 20A fuse (#9) in the interior panel which feeds the 'Mirror heater' and the 'Front wiper deicer'. The manual does not specify any of the relays in the car so I don't know if there are relays for these functions -- at that sort of current rating they could go either way.
Correct. There is a single switch for the rear, mirror and windshield wiper defrosters.
