Jesse, it's nice to see another Minnesotan here! I here a faint click when I click the heated windshield button, and the same click when I click the rear defrost. I tried to isolate where the sound came from but it was tough to do, It almost sounded like it was coming from the switch directly.. hmmm...
I'll have to take a look at my RAVE disk to see where the wiring is layed out. If you don't have one of these, I suggest you purchase one ASAP off of eBay for around $30. Best thing you could buy, seeing the the nearest LR dealer to you has recently moved from Eden Prairie to Downtown Jaguar, Lotus, Land Rover in Minneapolis. I also assume that you are way out of warranty anyway.
Relay R8 is for the Heated Front Windscreen (HFS), this is located in the engine compartment fuse box. (third one up on the right side I believe) Also, Fuse number FL1 (150amp rating) handles all fusable links 4,5,6, and 7, Fuses 3,4,5, and 6 of the engine compartment fuse box, and the HFS relay. This is also located under the hood in the same engine compartment fuse box as the relay that I mentioned previously. I doubt the fuse is bad because it handles a lot of your electrical on the vehicle. If it were out, you'd have a serious problem on your hands.
I tried to copy over the actual schematics but I do not have the ability to copy the PDF file...
I hope this helps.

I am not sure who you should use up where you are located, I guess all I meant by that was sometmes it pays to find the people who do the job right the first time. Just make sure they use OEM glass, do not settle for the cheap aftermarket glass that they like to use to make the most profit from the insurance company.
If you didn't mention the chip to your insurance company prior to purchasing it, I doubt they would care. Tough to prove when you had the chip occure
If they want to just fill the chip, just tell them that is had rendered your heated windshield useless, so you'll need a replacement.
It takes a few minutes to get the heat running in the windscreen. Longer than the rear defrost. Mine has worked wonders even at -30F in Fargo, ND last year. Actaully, it did hit -43F when I was there for the week, with wind chills down to -55F. The funny thing is, the disco can only read temps down to -22F.. very strange.
