Rear Window Defogger Wires
CAUTION:
wWhen cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth, and
wipe the glass in the direction of the wire. Take care
not to damage the wires.
wDo not use detergents or glass cleaners with abra-
sive ingredients.
wWhen measuring voltage, wind a piece of tin foil
around the top of the negative probe and press the
foil against the wire with your finger as shown.
INSPECTION OF DEFOGGER WIRES
1. INSPECT FOR WIRE BREAKAGE
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) Turn the defogger switch to ON.
HINT: If there are 10V, the wire is broken between the cen-
ter of the wire and positive (+) end. If there is no voltage,
the wire is broken between the center of the wire and
ground.
2. INSPECT FOR WIRE BREAKAGE POINT
(a) Place the voltmeter positive (+) lead against the de-
fogger positive (+) terminal.
(b) Place the voltmeter negative (±) lead with the foil strip
against the heat wire at the positive (+) terminal end
and slide it toward the negative (±) terminal end.
(c) The point where the voltmeter deflects from zero to
several volts is the place where the heat wire is bro-
ken.
HINT: If the heat wire is not broken, the voltmeter will ind
cafe 0V at the positive (+) end of the heat wire but gradua
ly increase to about 12V as the meter prove is moved to
the other end. 2. INSPECT RELAY OPERATION
(a) Apply battery voltage to terminals 1 and 3.
(b) Check that there is continuity between terminals 2
and 4.
(c) Check that there is no continu,ity between terminals
3 and 4.
If operation is not as specified, replace the relay.
(c) Inspect the voltage at the center of each heat wire as
shown.
