Jcoleman134 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ok well i noticed the other day that when i hit the rear defroster button it just blinks and doesn't come on. Anyone know what the problem might be? The rear window has the lines in it to heat it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojoman Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 what kinda car? did ya check your wires going onto the rear defrost tabs on the backglass? that is where you should start. then if they are still attached, take an ohm meter and see if there is continuity between the 2 sides. let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoleman134 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well it wasn't the tabs i took them off and put them back on and still didn't work. And my DMM is in my fathers car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieroGrande Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Is the fuse still good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoleman134 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 yeah i'm pretty sure its good because the heat still works just the rear defroster doesn't turn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Would you have cut any of the wires on the window somehow like if you tinted your window.

talentfinder36 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 yeah i'm pretty sure its good because the heat still works just the rear defroster doesn't turn on. In most cars the rear defroster has its own fuse. But you said that the button lit up. So it probably means that the stripes have a short in them. Just take it to the dealer since you have a warrenty. I just changed one in a Jag the other day and charged $600 its a pain in the ass to change.
