DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The electrically heated Rear Window Defogger (Fig.
1), Heated Power Side View Mirrors, and Heated
Windshield Wiper De-icer (Fig. 2) is available on NS
vehicles.
The Rear Window Defogger system consists of two
vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid lines on
the inside surface of the rear window. The electrical
circuit consists of the rear defogger switch in the
HVAC and a relay with timer switch to turn OFF the
system after ten minutes. The main feed circuit is
protected by fuse one (40 amp) in the Junction Block.
The rear defogger switch and relay also activates the
heated power side view mirrors and heated wind-
shield wiper de-icer. The HVAC rear defogger switch
is protected by fuse ten (10 amp) in the Junction
Block. The heated mirror circuit is protected by fuse
12 (10 amp) in the junction block. The heated wind-
shield wiper de-icer circuit is protected by fuse 21 (25
amp) in the Junction Block.
The Heated Windshield Wiper Deicer is also acti-
vated when the DEFROST mode is selected on the
HVAC. In the DEFROST mode the rear defogger
relay/timer is bypassed, the heated windshield wiper
de-icer will stay ON until the another mode is
selected. For circuit information and component loca-
tion refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION: Since grid lines can be damaged or
scraped off with sharp instruments, care should be
taken in cleaning the glass or removing foreign
materials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning
solvents or hot water used with rags or toweling is
recommended.
HVAC MOUNTED SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is integrated into
the HVAC (Fig. 3). An LED indicator will illuminate
when the switch is activated. The switch energizesthe timing circuit and activates the rear window
defogger relay. The relay controls the current to flow
to the grids of the rear window defogger, heated
power side view mirrors and the heated windshield
wiper de-icer. The defogger relay will be on for
approximately 10 minutes or until the control switch
or ignition is turned off.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SYSTEM TEST
Electrically heated rear window defogger or the
heated windshield wiper deicer operation can be
checked on the vehicle in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Using a ammeter on the battery, turn the rear
defogger control switch to the ON position, a distinct
increase in amperage draw should be noted.
(3) The rear window defogger or the heated wind-
shield wiper deicer operation can be checked by feel-
ing the glass. A distinct difference in temperature
between the grid lines and adjacent clear glass can
be detected in 3 to 4 minutes of operation.
(4) Using a DC voltmeter (Fig. 4) contact terminal
B with the negative lead, and terminal A with the
positive lead. The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.
(5) Indicator light illumination means that there is
power available at the switch only and does not nec-
essarily verify system operation.
(6) If turning the defogger switch ON, no distinct
current draw on the ammeter the problem should be
isolated in the following manner:
²Confirm that ignition switch is ON.
²Ensure that the heated rear window or the
heated windshield wiper deicer feed pigtail is con-
nected to the wiring harness and that the ground
pigtail is in fact grounded.
²Ensure that the proper fuse in the Junction
Block is OK.(7) When the above steps have been completed and
the system is still inoperative, one or more of the fol-
lowing is defective:
²HVAC switch
²Rear window defogger relay in the relay bank.
²Check for loose connector or a wire pushed out
of connector.
²Rear window or the windshield grid lines (all
grid lines would have to be broken, or one of the feed
pigtails not connected to the bus bar, for no ammeter
deflection).
(8) If turning the switch ON produces severe volt-
meter deflection, the circuit should be closely checked
for a shorting condition.
(9) If the system operation has been verified but
indicator LED does not light, replace switch.
(10) For detailed wiring information, refer to
Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
GRID LINE TEST
The horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines
printed and baked on inside surface of the window
glass makes up an electrical parallel circuit. The
electrically conductive lines are composed of a silver
ceramic material which when baked on glass
becomes bonded to the glass and is highly resistant
to abrasion. It is possible, however, that a break may
exist or occur in an individual grid line resulting in
no current flow through the line. To detect breaks in
grid lines, the following procedure is required:
(1) Turn ignition and rear window defogger control
switch ON. The indicator light should come on.
(2) Using a DC voltmeter with 0-15 volt range,
contact vertical bus bar connecting grid lines on pas-
senger side of vehicle at terminal A with negative
lead of voltmeter (Fig. 4). With positive lead of volt-
meter, contact vertical bus bar on driver side of vehi-
cle at terminal B. The voltmeter should read 10-14
volts.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code
which identifies the main circuit, part of the main
circuit, gage of wire, and color (Fig. 1).
CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric
code to identify the wire and its function. To identify
which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the
Circuit Identification Code Chart. This chart shows
the main circuits only and does not show the second-
ary codes that may apply to some models.

SECTION IDENTIFICATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world.
