Have you done any testing? If not, find the connector for rear defogger grid, probably in the trunk, somewhere. The purple wire is voltage, the black wire is ground. Turn on defogger, use a testlite between terminals, if the lite comes on, the problem should be with the defogger grid, itself. You can check for continuity in the defogger grid. If no continuity, there is a break in the grid, If you can find the break in the grid, the auto store should have this stuff that you can paint over the break allowing continuity in the grid.

I'm just trying to pinpoint problem.

SOURCE: Rear window defroster

you need to make sure the wires are on the glass on each side and there is no broken wires in the glass there is a repair kit at a auto store to fix if you have a volt meter test it and that way you can find the problem look for breaks in the wire in the glass and do not for get the wires on each side of the glass.

SOURCE: 95 Toyota Camry rear window defroster won't work

It could be the fuse, the fuse is in fuse block inside the car near the Instrument panel, you have to remove the ash tray assembly to get to it. It is a 40 A type B fuse. Have a look towards the back of your owner's manul and it will show you where it is.

What is the fix for a rear defroster that doesn't work?

when you push on the rear defroster button does it light up if so then you will have to use a test light and check for broken window grid wires on the rear window. you ground one end of the test light and using the other end start at one side of the window that lights it up then follow the grid line from one side to the other at 2 inch increments, the light should light up but get dimmer as you test the length of the grid, then go to the next grid line and repeat. when the light stops lighting this is were there is a break in the grid is and needs to be repaired. you can get window grid repair kits for this.

My heater works find but my rear defroster does not

Hi,
The rear defroster is controlled by a separate switch either on the dash or center console. The fuse may be blown or the rear wires that run across the window are damaged.

Use a multi-meter to test each wire to ensure continuity exists.

Where is the rear defroster fuse

It's probably not a fuse, but a relay, also called "defogger relay", and it should be in the fusebox you are looking at, or else in the power distribution center by your battery.
Often the problem with the defroster is either the connector at rear window, or the little bands, or lines that carry current become scraped and lose continuity.

95 jeep Cherokee heater wont work but rear window defrost still works need help please

Check the blower motor fro good connection, power and ground. Hot wire it to the battery and see if it runs. Check the blower fuse, relay, switch and resistor pack.
blower and rear defrost circuits are totally unrelated.

Rear Defroster Problem

1 st of all check all the fuses if all are good it may be the switch itself .......if you are referring to just the defroster ensure both connections are connected to th rear window if there are any breaks in the defroster lines as you will they sell a metal fill type repair kit not expensive and with the use of tape and this mixture you can easily repair the breaks in the defroster lines ........but first ck your fuses and connections maby determine with the use of a test light and check for power at both the switch and the rear wire connections for power to them otherwise it is most likely the switch

Radiator fans do not come on

Ok. same problem in the same model of car. The relays are under the hood in the top right corner. they are markded fuse. There are three relays that are all alike numbers 12,9 and 15. (you get the numbers underneath the fuse lid) one goes to your rear defrost, by changing these around you will know if it is your relays that are the problem before you go replacing them.

hope this helps
