Windshield wipers stop working when the defroster is on

The only thing they have in common is the ignition switch.

My 2006 stratus sedan rear defrost dont work and will not light up

if you push on the rear defrost switch and it doesn`t light up then check the fuses with a test light. if the fuse is good then the defrost switch is likely bad.

I have a 2005 Hyundai Sonata GL v6. The rear window defog/defrost doesn't work. I have checked all fuses & all are good. Also the switch illuminates & I can hear a click in the fuse box located...

There are 2 Plugs that go into the REAR Defrost. If one of them is off, then it will not work. If you broke the Electrical Track, then it needs to be repaired... They sell kits to do this at your local Automotive Repair Stores... Time consuming but easy to do.

Back side window of 2006 sebring won't go up how do I fix it?

Try operating the window with both the driver's window switch, and the rear door window switch.

When operating window with rear door window switch help up, bang the door around the mid section and see if this frees the winder motor in that door. If it does, this would indicate a failing motor (replace). If it doesn't then strip door, and check for power to the motor when operating switch. If power is present, then replace the motor.

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

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

Rear defoger doesn't work

Start with checking the fuse then looking at the wire or wires connected to the rear window defrost to make sure they are still connected

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.

My rear defrost will not work but the light works, whats the problem

Visually inspect the heating grid attached to the inside of the rear window for breaks in the horizontal lines. Any break in the filaments in the grid will cause a partial failure of the defroster, leaving a portion of the window fogged or obscured.

2 Use a test light or voltmeter to detect breaks in the filaments that aren't visible to the ***** eye. Touch one lead of the light or voltmeter to a grounded metal part of the car and the other lead to a spot on the heating grid. If the light doesn't light or the voltmeter doesn't register a reading, that indicates a break in the filament.

3 Place a piece of tape on each side of the break. Align one piece just above the filament, the other piece just below it, leaving a thin space through which the filament passes.

4 Apply the filament repair liquid with its applicator onto each break you've identified. Be sure to thoroughly cover the broken spot. Allow the repair to fully cure per the instructions on the bottle, then carefully remove the pieces of tape so they don't rip the filament repair.

5 Inspect the the vertical lines on the heating grid if you've discovered that the entire heating grid fails to work. Any break in the vertical lines will cause complete grid failure. These can be can be repaired in the same way as the horizontal lines. Check to ensure that the metal power tabs on each side of the grid are securely fastened to the vertical lines, as a break here will also prevent the entire grid from heating.

6 Reattach the metal power tabs to the heating grid as needed by removing the tab from its connector and repairing it using the epoxy found in the heating tab repair kit. Be sure to allow the full curing time indicated on the kit before reinserting the tab into the connector to ensure that the circuit isn't broken.

7 Check the power switch and wiring to the rear window defogger if there are no breaks in the heating grid and both of the metal power tabs are securely connected to the grid. Replace the switch and/or wiring as necessary.
