NOTE:
Wind aluminum foil around tester probes when checking continuity and voltage of rear defogger lines.
- Start engine, turn on rear defogger (and mirror heater) switch and measure voltage between center of each wire and ground.
Rear defogger voltage at center of each wire
4 - 6 V
- Check wires whose measurement is out of standard.
- Apply both positive and negative probes of tester to positive side of rear defogger line.
- Move negative probe toward negative side of rear defogger line slowly.
- Check voltage change while sliding negative probe. If voltage remains 0 V halfway and then rises to battery voltage suddenly, the line is open just before there.
- If defective is found, replace window or repair defogger harness or replace back if necessary.
