WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Suzuki Verona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear window defogger bus lead wire or the terminal can be reattached by resoldering. Use a solder containing 3% silver and a rosin flux paste.
- The repair area should be buffed with fine steel wool before soldering the bus lead wire.
- Apply the paste-type rosin flux in small quantities to the wire lead and the bus lead wire repair area using a brush.
- Coat the soldering iron tip with solder. Use only enough solder to ensure a complete repair.
- Use only enough heat to melt the solder. Do not overheat the wire when resoldering to the bus lead wire.
