Rear Defroster not working

Postby allisojh » Tue Nov 30, 2010 5:18 pm

Both fuses fine, defroster light turns on.

no defrosting.

I don't think I have ever heard a "click" when I pushed it but i definatly don't hear anyting now.

I have an 06 SE with the Bose system and the digital climate control panel.

I see no broken wires at the defroster as well.

Thanks!

Check for continuity of the lines in the glass. Sometimes the material gets scratched. I remember seeing this stuff you apply like nail polish remover that fixes the scratch and allows the defroster to work again.

Reviving this thread because my defroster is not working and the dealer is stumped after days of having my pathy I just said forget it I will figure it out. It went in with just my defroster button not lighting up and not working, came out with my defroster button & my AC button not working now. ( worked previously). I took apart my dash and checked to see if they had anything apart. It's obvious they took out the multi pin plug in the back of the climat control panel. I know this because they put electro-gel on/ in the pins.

I checked the fuses they weren't blown but the contacts didn't look hot. So I took some sand paper and cleaned them up. Still got nothing. I can't find the wire schematics online any where & don't know where else to look. I disconnected & sanded under all the grounds I could see under the hood. Still nothing. It's winter in New Jersey and I would really like to have my defrosters working. Please help!!
