July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Printed-Heater Lines Check

  1. Run engine at 2,000 r/min. Check heater element with battery at full.
  2. Turn "ON" rear window defogger switch. Measure heater element voltage with circuit tester at rear window glass center A. Condition is good if it indicates about 6 V.
  3. If 12 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the negative terminals from A. Move test bar slowly to negative terminal to detect where voltage changes suddenly (0V).
  4. If 0 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the positive terminals from A. Defect where the voltage changes suddenly (12 V) in the same method described above.
