R56 Winshield defrost makes a popping a noise

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't look up what the button actually does but it makes sense it's for the rear hatch window. I don't really use my JCW in cold weather so I guess I'll just not push it until I can figure out what's up.

That is the defrost for the rear window. Where do you hear this pop coming from?

When I push the defrost button I get a loud pop like when a wire sparks. Is this normal? Anyone experience this? In the pic, it's the button on the right directly under the recirculate interior air button. Attachment 117156

I would get that checked out sooner rather than later.

An update on my JCW after hitting an animal:
Parts replaced / items corrected -
1. Both front tires bent so they straightened them out and resurfaced the black rims.
2. Replaced core support.
3. Replaced front left and right wheel well liners.
4. Repainted entire front bumper because as they pulled off the clear tape bra the paint peeled.
5. Replaced lower front spoiler.
6. Performed alignment.
Grand total: $3,125
Luckily all covered by insurance.

Glad it was all covered by insurance. Is the popping gone now?

Actually the JCW is in for repair for the front end only. I never use the rear defrost and wouldn't be covered under this claim so I'll have to address that later.
Also, update: cost was reduced to $2,400 because they simply painted a new bumper instead of reusing the old one and stripping paint and also I think the insurance company negotiated a few things.

Looks much better now. Let me know what you find on the defrost. It should no pop unless its the relay clicking very loudly.

I'll have to open the wiring diagrams (hopefully in the Bentley) and take a detailed look and the circuit. Doesn't sound like a relay opening or closing sounds more like a wire sparking. Yikes.

Well I just randomly discovered the popping noise so I can't say exactly when it started. I never use the rear defrost so who knows when it started making a strange noise.

Thought it was done already
