NOTE:
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the defogger
wires with the tester probe.
• Before testing, check the No. 11 (40 A) fuse in the
under-hood fuse/relay box and the No. 14 (10 A) fuse
in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
1. Check for voltage between the positive terminal (A)
and body ground with the ignition switch and
defogger switch ON.
There should be battery voltage.
• If there is no voltage, check for:
– Faulty defogger relay.
– Faulty window antenna coil (’02-04 models).
– An open in the BLK/RED, BLK/YEL, or YEL/BLK
wire.
– Faulty climate control unit.
• If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
2. Check for voltage between the positive terminal (A)
and the negative terminal (B).
If there is no voltage, check for:
• An open in the BLK/BLU wire.
• Faulty window antenna coil.
• Poor body ground at the window antenna coil
mounting bolt.
3. Touch the voltmeter positive probe to the halfway
point of each defogger wire, and the negative
probe to the negative terminal.
There should be about 6 V with the ignition switch
and the defogger switch ON.
• If the voltage is as specified, the defogger wire is
OK.
• If the voltage is not as specified, repair the
defogger wire.
– If it is more than 6 V, there is a break in the
negative half of the wire.
– If it is less than 6 V, there is a break in the
positive half of the wire.
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken section
must be no longer than 1 inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section (A)
with fine steel wool, then clean it with isopropyl
alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portion
of the defogger wire (B) with transparent tape (C).
3. Thoroughly mix the silver conductive paint
(commercially available defogger grid repair
material). Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat
of the silver conductive paint extending about 1/8’’
on both sides of the break. Allow 30 minutes to dry.
4. Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
5. Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it
dry 3 hours before removing the tape.
