1997 HONDA CIVIC rear

Rear Window Defogger
- How the Circuit Works
'96198 Models
Voltage is applied at all limes through tuse 50 to the
rear window detogger relay (contacts). With the
ignition switch in ON (ll), voltage is applied through
tuse 16 to the rear window defogger switch.
When you turn the switch ON, voltage is applied to
the defogger timer circuit. The timer circuit supplies
voltage to the rear window defogger relay (coil). The
relay energizes and supplies voltage to the rear
window defogger. The defogger grid then heats the
rear window to remove any condensation from the
glass.
The defogger timer circuit will automatically turn off
the rear window defogger after about 25 minutes.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
'99100 Models
Voltage is applied at all times through fuse 50 to the
rear window delogger relay (contacts). With lhe
ignition switch in ON (ll), voltage is applied through
fuse 16 to the heater control oanel.
When you turn the rear window defogger switch
ON, a signal is sent to lhe defogger timer circuit
built-into the heater control oanel. The timer circuit
supplies voltage to the rear window defogger relay
(coil). The relay energizes and supplies voltage to
the rear window defogger. The defogger grid then
heats the rear window to remove anv condensation
from the glass.
The defogger timer circuit will automatically turn otf
the rear window defogger after about 25 minutes.
Refer to the Seryice Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
