need help with rear defroster
 
does anybody know where the rear defroster plugs in? it won't work and I believe it's not connected because when I bought the vehicle the 3rd brake light was also disconnected but that was visible. I cant seem to find the rear defrost plug. anybody?:bonk:

More than likely it connects somewhere behind the C pillars, but obviously you already checked there because you've exhausted all other options.


Right?

Looks like the connectors are on the top left and top right corner, either behind the C-pillar or headliner, according to my service info. According to the image @humfrz posted above, it looks like there is a connector behind the right C-pillar. So I'd start with the pillars.

I'll check that and let you know what I find. Thanks guys

are your windows tinted? Those guys have a bad habit of slicing through the element(what ever those lines are called). might get a flashlight and look to see if any are damaged

Yea they are. He might have damaged the lines, I have to check but I haven't got to take the pillars off yet it's been too cold. I'm installing speakers soon so I will do it at the same time.

It was disconnected. Behind the driver side rear c piller is where the defrost connection is. Thanks for the help
