DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The Rear Window Defogger system is powered by a
40 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) on circuit A4. This circuit is HOT at all times.
The system is also powered by a 10 amp fuse located
in cavity 8 of the fuse block, this fuse is HOT in the
RUN position only.
When the operator presses the rear window defog-
ger switch the contacts internal to the switch CLOSE
and the timer starts. When the switch is released the
timer circuity keeps the relay energized for the spec-
ified time.
Voltage is passed through the switch on the A4 cir-
cuit to the C15 circuit and then to the rear window
defogger grid. The grid consists of two bus bars and
grid lines that form a parallel circuit. When voltage
is passed through the grid, the grid lines heat up and
heat the rear window.
Grounding for the rear window defogger switch is
provided on the Z2 circuit and terminates at the
instrument panel right center support. The grid uses
the grounding point at the rear body in the right
wheel house.
When the system is in operation, a L.E.D. located
in the switch, indicates to the operator the system is
functioning. The switch is also illuminated when the
headlamp switch is in the PARK or ON position.
Power for the illumination circuit comes from the 4
amp fuse, located in cavity 12 of the fuse block, on
the E2 circuit.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check the 40 amp fuse in the Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC).

Circuit A3 originates in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) and supplies battery voltage for the
headlamp switch. A 40 amp fuse protects the A3 cir-
cuit. The headlamp switch has an internal 24 amp
circuit breaker that connects circuit A3 to either the
L2 or L20 circuits, depending on switch position.
In the OFF and PARK positions the headlamp
switch feeds the L20 circuit that connects to the
multi-function switch. Circuit L20 powers the high
beam circuit when the operator flashes the head-
lamps with the turn signal stalk of the multi-func-
tion switch. When the operator flashes the
headlamps with the stalk, the multi-function switch
connects the L20 circuit to the L3 circuit. The L3 cir-
cuit feeds the high beam of the headlamps.
HEADLAMP SWITCH IN ON POSITION
When the headlamp switch is in the ON position,
it connects the A3 circuit from the PDC to circuit L2.
