    Rear defogger dead

    I cannot get my rear defogger to work after buying a new dash switch and checking all the fuses.
    Has anyone solved this problem on their car?
    Thanks

    have the lines reflowed. they all fail with age.

      This is almost certainly correct. Extremely off chance that you could have a wiring fault instead.

        Maybe the same thing, but the tabs at the screen get loose and corrode.

        I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

          also a good thing to check.

            If your pockets are deep, replace the glass to get new heat traces. But if your rear windshield is tinted then you're supposed to disable the defogger anyway.
            my solution is $5 squeegee.
