Trouble Diagnoses
SYMPTOM: Rear window defogger does not activate, or does
not go off after activating.
CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER

Filament Check
1. Attach probe circuit tester (in volt range) to middle portion of
each ®lament.
+When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of
the negative probe. Then press the foil against the wire
with your ®nger.
2. To locate burned out point, move probe to left and right along
®lament. Test needle will swing abruptly when probe passes the
point.
+If a ®lament is burned out, circuit tester registers 0 or 12
volts.

Filament Repair
REPAIR EQUIPMENT
1. Conductive silver composition (Dupont No. 4817 or equivalent)
2. Ruler 30 cm (11.8 in) long
3. Drawing pen
4. Heat gun
5. Alcohol
6. Cloth
REPAIRING PROCEDURE
1. Wipe broken heat wire and its surrounding area clean with a
cloth dampened in alcohol.
2. Apply a small amount of conductive silver composition to tip of
drawing pen.
Shake silver composition container before use.
3. Place ruler on glass along broken line. Deposit conductive sil-
ver composition on break with drawing pen. Slightly overlap
existing heat wire on both sides [preferably 5 mm (0.20 in)] of
the break.
4. After repair has been completed, check repaired wire for con-
tinuity. This check should be conducted 10 minutes after silver
composition is deposited.
Do not touch repaired area while test is being conducted.
5. Apply a constant stream of hot air directly to the repaired area
for approximately 20 minutes with a heat gun. A minimum dis-
tance of 3 cm (1.2 in) should be kept between repaired area
and hot air outlet. If a heat gun is not available, let the repaired
area dry for 24 hours.

System Description
+A heat line has been added to the lower portion of the wind-
shield.
+During cold weather, water can freeze between the wiper
blades and windshield. Turning the wiper deicer switch ON
melts the ice between the blades and windshield.
+During snowfall, packed snow can accumulate around the
windshield lower surface and surrounding areas. Turning the
wiper deicer switch ON melts the snow to allow the wiper
blades to more easily remove it.
+The wiper deicer operates only for approximately 15 minutes
while ignition switch is in ON position. The timer is combined
with wiper deicer switch.
