GENERAL INFORMATION
The electrically-heated rear window defogger is an
available option on XJ (Cherokee), and YJ (Wrangler)
models equipped with the hardtop roof option. Fol-
lowing are general descriptions of the major compo-
nents in the rear window defogger system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
REAR WINDOW GLASS GRID
The heated rear window glass has two electrically-
conductive vertical bus bars and a series of horizon-
tal grid lines made of a silver-ceramic material,
which is baked on and bonded to the inside surface of
the glass. The grid lines and bus bars comprise a
parallel electrical circuit.
When the rear window defogger switch is placed in
the ON position, current is directed to the rear win-
dow grid lines through the bus bars. The grid lines
heat the rear window to clear the surface of fog or
snow. Circuit protection for the heated grid circuit is
provided by fuse 18 (XJ) or fuse 6 (YJ) in the fuse-
block module.
The grid lines and bus bars are highly resistant to
abrasion. However, it is possible for an open to occur
in an individual grid line resulting in no current flow
through the line. The grid lines can be damaged or
scraped off with sharp instruments. Care should be
taken in cleaning the glass or removing foreign ma-
terials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning sol-
vents or hot water used with rags or toweling is
recommended.A repair kit is available to repair the grid lines and
bus bars, or to reinstall the heated glass pigtail
wires.
DEFOGGER SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is mounted in the
instrument panel left of the steering column for XJ,
or right of the steering column for YJ. The switch cir-
cuit is protected by fuse 8 (XJ) or fuse 9 (YJ) in the
fuseblock module. Actuating the switch energizes the
relay and electronic timer. A light-emitting diode
(LED) in the switch (XJ), or a indicator lamp in the
switch (YJ), illuminates to indicate when the system
is turned on. The defogger switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the switch must be replaced.
DEFOGGER RELAY/TIMER
The defogger relay/timer is located in the relay cen-
ter on XJ models, or taped to the instrument panel
wiring harness behind the parking brake pedal in the
left cowl side area on YJ models. When the rear de-
fogger switch is actuated, the rear defogger relay is
energized. This causes current to flow through the
grid circuit for approximately 10 minutes, or until
the rear window defogger switch or ignition switch
are turned off.
DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM TESTS
Electrically-heated rear window defogger operation
can be confirmed in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Turn rear window defogger control switch ON.
(3) Monitor vehicle voltmeter. With the control
switch ON, a distinct needle deflection should be
noted.(4) The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in
temperature between the grid lines and adjacent
clear glass can be detected within 3 to 4 minutes of
operation.
(5) Using a DC voltmeter, contact terminal A (Fig.
1) (passenger side) with the negative lead, and termi-

(9) Allow epoxy to cure 24 hours at room tempera-
ture or use heat gun with a 260É-371ÉC (500É-700ÉF)
range for 15 minutes. Hold gun approximately
254mm (10 inches) from repaired area.
(10) After conductive epoxy is properly cured re-
move wedge or clamp from terminal or pigtail and
check operation of rear window defogger. Do not at-
tach connectors until curing is complete.

(1) Remove the instrument cluster bezel. Refer to
Group 8E - Instrument Panel and Gauges for proce-
dure.
(2) Remove the switch housing panel.
(3) Unplug the switch connector. Slightly depress
the switch mounting tabs and remove the switch.
(4) Reverse removal procedures to install.
YJ MODELS
(1) Remove 6 bezel screws (Fig. 3).
(2) Slide bezel toward the steering wheel.
(3) Remove 3 screws (Fig. 4).
(4) Unplug the connector from the defogger switch.
(5) Squeeze the ends of the switch to release the
plastic retaining fingers and push outward.
(6) Reverse removal procedures to install.
DEFOGGER RELAY/TIMER REMOVE/INSTALL
XJ MODELS
The rear defogger relay is in the relay center. The
relay center is located on the lower instrument panel
trim cover just right of the steering column.
(1) Remove the rear defogger relay (red) from the
relay center (Fig. 5).
(2) Reverse removal procedures to install.
YJ MODELS

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP
The purpose of this group is to show the electrical
circuits in a clear, simple fashion and to make trou-
bleshooting easier. Components that work together
are shown together. All electrical components used in
a specific system are shown on one diagram. The feed
for a system is shown at the top of the page. All
wires, connectors, splices, and components are shown
in the flow of current to the bottom of the page. Wir-
ing which is not part of the circuit represented is ref-
erenced to another page/section, where the complete
circuit is shown. In addition, all switches, compo-
nents, and modules are shown in theat rest posi-
tion with the doors closed and the key removed
from the ignition.
If a component is part of several different circuits,
it is shown in the diagram for each. For example, the
headlamp switch is the main part of the exterior
lighting, but it also affects the interior lighting and
the chime warning system.
It is important to realize that no attempt is
made on the diagrams to represent components
and wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For
example, a short piece of wire is treated the
same as a long one. In addition, switches and
other components are shown as simply as pos-
sible, with regard to function only.
The wiring diagram show circuits for all wheel-
bases. If there is a difference in systems or compo-
nents between wheel-bases, an identifier is placed
next to the component.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The instrument cluster contains the gauges and
warning lamps. All gauges have magnetic move-
ments.
When the ignition switch is in the START or RUN
position, circuit A21 feeds circuit F87 through fuse 17
in the fuse block. Circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) supplies voltage to circuit
A21. Circuit A1 is HOT at all times.
Circuit F87 connects to the cluster connector to
power the gauges and to the telltale connector to
power the warning lamps.
Circuit E2 from fuse 19 in the fuse block feeds the
illumination lamps. Circuit E2 originates at the head-
lamp switch and continues through fuse 19. The
headlamp switch powers circuit E2 when the parking
lamps or headlamp are ON.
Circuit Z2 provides ground for the indicator lamps
and illumination lamps.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge to the engine coolant temperature sensor.
The sensor is a variable resistor and case grounded to
the engine. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument
cluster left connector and supplies voltage for the
gauge.
The gauge uses two coils. Current passing through
the coils creates a magnetic field. Position of the
gauge needle is controlled by the amount of current
passing through the coils to ground at the sensor.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING
LAMP
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture warning lamp to the engine coolant temperature
switch. When the switch closes, battery voltage from
circuit F87 flows through the lamp to ground through
the switch on circuit G20. The engine coolant tem-
perature switch is case grounded to the engine. Cir-cuit F87 connects to the instrument cluster connector
and supplies voltage for the lamp.
Circuit G20 also connects to the warning lamp to
ground when the ignition switch is in the START
position. When the ignition switch is in the START
position, the lamp illuminates for a bulb test.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level sensor is a variable resistor. Circuit
G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel gauge in
the instrument cluster. Circuit F87 from fuse 17 in
the fuse block supplies voltage to the fuel gauge. The
fuel level sensor draws voltage from circuit F87
through the fuel gauge on circuit G4. Circuit G4
connects to circuit 57 in the fuel pump module har-
ness. Circuit 57 connects to the fuel level sensor.
Circuit 99 in the fuel pump module harness con-
nects to circuit Z1. Circuit Z1 provides the ground
path for the fuel level sensor. The grounding point for
circuit Z1 is the left side of the cowl panel.
As current flows through the coils in the fuel gauge,
it creates a magnetic field. One of the coils in the
gauge receives fixed current. The other coil is con-
nected to the level sensor. The magnetic field controls
the position of the fuel gauge pointer.
The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor. As
the position of the float arm on the fuel level sensor
changes, the resistor changes the current flow
through second coil in the fuel gauge. A change in
current flow alters the magnetic field in the fuel
gauge, which changes the pointer position.
LOW FUEL WARNING LAMP
Circuit G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel
gauge. The low fuel level module at the rear of the
gauge monitors resistance in circuit G4. The low fuel
level module powers an light emitting diode (LED)
when the resistance in circuit G4 reaches a calibrated
level. The LED illuminates the Low Fuel indicator.
Refer to Group 8E for additional information.
