How do I turn heat and defroster ON in 2000 bmw 750il

i asssume yours like mine has instant heat/defrost (you don't have to wait for engine to warm up ) so sounds like you have a problem with the electric elements that make that heat as i'll bet you get heat after letting car warm up if you wait for it

If you are getting heat inside the car, the defroster should also work. There is a control switch problem that doesn't switch to defrost from heat, or the compressor for the air conditioner is not functioning...it provides heat for defrosting as very dry air to the heater box.

As per your problem mentioned. There are few solved help links to troubleshoot these problems. Go through the list and Click the link below:----

Have your thermostat checked, sound like it is not working when cold.

i had a 2001 cirrus that did that i found that it was a vacum line for the defrost as for the rear window if the light is on in the buttonon the dash then you might want to see if the wire that goes to the defroster on the window are both hooked up

PUT A HIGHER THERMASTAT IN. 190 OR 195 DEGREE

If it is blowing hot air out of the defroster and not out of the heater vents then the door that directs the heat from the defroster isn't working properly it is blocking the heat from going to the heater vents. Also check the cold air door. It sounds like it isn't closing all the way to shut off the cold air and not letting the hot air pass.

the blendor actuators strip out the gear inside the actuator cases on these all the time. replace the actuator.

check the thermostat and coolant level

have you checked the thernostat. sometimes it gets stuck in the open position and that will make your car run cool
