Why doesn't my rear window defroster work in my 2005 Honda Accord

Rear defroster light is coming on but not rear defroster is not working and there is a wire that has come loose and that is just hanging there when I open my trunk! It's a thick, round, black wire that has three little prongs in the the middle of it and it kind of looks like a cable wire that you would run to your TV to get cable and the 3 little prongs looks like what you would plug into the back of your TV. Could this be it or what kind of wire is this?

That is the wire you need, it should plug onto a pin on the window

SOURCE: 1996 Honda Accord Problem

I cannot get my air conditioner clutch on my 1996 Honda Accord EX to engage. I've checked the fuse and relay. The fuse is good but the power is not going to the relay. If I can find the power that comes to the relay, I can fix it. I need to know what activitate the relay and the power that the relay push to the clutch. I need to know where they come from.

I've been looking for a circuitry that shows it and a drawing that shows the air conditioning fan. Please help.

SOURCE: 95 honda accord V6 tachometer jumping and cutting out.

I had the same problem with my 1995 Honda Accord V6 2.7L a year ago. It was a pain to have Honda diagnose the problem because it was intermittent and every time I took my car in to the dealership they said they couldn't reproduce the problem, but the longer you wait the more frequently your tachometer will fluctuate. I finally stopped by the dealership when the tachometer was jumping and they were able to diagnose the problem. In my case there was a faulty resistor in the ignition coil, but the entire ignition coil needs to be replaced. I don't know anything about cars but I know this fixed my problem. I went directly though Honda's service center so I know they charged me more than an independent repair shop but I'm looking at my invoice now and I paid $150 for the ignition coil and $200 for labor. After Honda diagnosed the problem I searched for "1995 honda accord ignition coil tachometer" and found that other people had the same problem and replacing the ignition coil was the fix. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1993 Honda Accord No Heat/Defrost

You will have to drain the radiator. Drain at bottom.
Then, follow the top radiator hose back to where it connects to the engine.
The part with the two bolts in it that the hose connects to is the thermostat housing.
You may have to remove the hose in order to remove the housing.
When you have removed the housing, note the position of the thermostat before you remove it.
When installing, use new gasket, etc.
(you might be able to get away with not removing the radiator hose, but it is recommended)
Be prepared for a bit of spillage when you remove the housing.

My rear window defrost doesn't work

Using a 12 volt test lamp, check for power at the connection to the grid. If no power there, check fuses, and switch. If there is power at the connection, look closely for a break in the continuity of the grid. Usually right near where the wires connect. If broken, parts stores can fix you up with a conductive glue. Common problem, and the glue is cheap, and works great. Good luck!

I have a 2003 dodge neon..and the rear defroster doesn't work..it has a button for it..and it just shuts off and back windshield doesn't clear at all...even if I keep turning it back on it...

Yeah, I'd think it would have lines, too, unless some new way of doing it that I'm not aware of. Maybe the rear window was replaced with a window without the defrost option. There should be a small two wire connector coming out of the back shelf near lower driver's side of rear window. That would be the defrost connector to the window lines (that aren't there,lol).
Well, good luck with that! I think there are aftermarket kits for rear window defrost, though.

Does the A/C compressor have to work to run the defrosters in my 1997 Honda Accord?

no the ac compressor doesn't have to work for the defrost to work. All car maker have to have a default to a safe condition.So that means if your ac fails the defrost will still work. I will take longer to defrost your window

2005 honda accord. rear defrost not working. fuse and relay good. when touching fuse with test light ,relay clicks, test light does not light up

A common mistake is that when someone hears the relay click that it is good. The tips inside the relay can pit or break off but it still makes the clicking noise. I would check the wires really good and check voltage in and going out, The relay is probably bad or you may have a carroded wire.

Water is leaking into the trunk of my 2005 Honda accord whenever it rains

My 1990 Honda Accord does this too.
When I wash it or when it rains. If I open the trunk/deck lid water flows out of the right rear tail light housing into the trunk.

Solution: get some rubber gasket sealant and apply under the lower gasket around the rear window on each side at the corners. Allow for drying time. Close the trunk and try some water if this doesn't work you will likely have to replace the rear window seal.

Best of luck.
