THE PRINTED-HEATER LINES CHECK
(1) Run engine at 2,000 rpm. Check heater element with bat-tery at full.
(2) Turn ON rear window defogger switch. Measure heater
element voltage with circuit tester at rear window glass
center A.
Condition good if indicating about 6 V.
(3) If 12 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the negative
terminals from A.
Move test bar slowly to negative terminal to detect where
voltage changes suddenly (0 V).(4) If 0 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the positive
terminals from A. Detect where the voltage changes sud-
denly (12 V) with the same method described.
